"Just two days after the White House came out in opposition to it, Majority Leader Eric Cantor has promised that the House will not vote on the bill until greater consensus is reached. Based on the controversial nature of the bill, it’s unlikely that day will ever come.
However, this has changed very little in the grand scheme of things. The Protest IP Act, SOPA’s sister bill, still has a possibility of passing. PIPA would allow corporations and the government to seek affirmative legal action against any site that they deem to be “enabling copyright infringement.”
Because PIPA is still out there, Erik Martin, the general manger of Reddit, cannot take any comfort in SOPA being shelved. Martin told the Daily Dot that Reddit’s Jan. 18 protest will proceed as planned.
“Reddit is still blacking out,” Martin said. “There is still a vote planned on Protect IP next week.”
Wikipedia may no longer stand in solidarity with Reddit, though. While previously urged on by cofounder Jimmy Wales to shut down on Wednesday, some Wikipedia editors now don’t see the point. Michaeldsuarez, the most recent editor to update the protest discussion page, Wikipedia talk: SOPA initiative, is one who thinks a blackout would be unnecessary:" |

All governments want control over everybody, it's inevitable.
Don't be one of those conspiracy junkies, though. |

@Slopp
Define Consp. Junkie. I believe 9/11 was an inside job, so was Pearl Harbor, and Bin Laden isn't dead. Do I qualify? |

@Lego
Yes.
You have good reasoning for believing that osama isn't dead. Because there's literally, no proof.
But eh..I don't really think 9/11 was an inside job. Planes definitely crashed into them. |

@ Lego,
He is dead. The government wouldn't just randomly kill someone, say it's bin Laden, then go on their merry way. |

Lego: pfft
Why you believe Pearl Harbor was an inside job? (Send a PM to avoid flame war?)
Anyway I'm pretty on the fence on whether SOPA get's passed or not. Half off me saids yes the other half saids no.
I'm gonna say yes, because I have little faith in congress. |

| If SOPA goes into order, this thread will be deleted. Dumb, right? |

| This is pretty much like someone watching you 24/7/365. There is no privacy, exept the privacy that is everything SOPA/PIPA related, Which will be cencored of course. Although they always are watching us, This pretty much makes no privacy on the internet if SOPA is resumed. |
