> So the good news is we're gaining momentum, the bad news is it's still just as dangerous in the senate (maybe more so because senators have less of an inclination to listen to their constituents it seems) . SOPA isn't officially dead yet, it's just not progressing at the moment. We can continue all our efforts and change the focus to the senate bill, PIPA.<br>
