Tuesday afternoon, US Senator Scott Brown joined more than a dozen other legislators in announcing that he will vote 'no' on both the Stop Online Piracy and the Protect Intellectual Property bills.
"I’m going to vote NO on #PIPA and #SOPA. The Internet is too important to our economy," he tweeted.
"If passed, this legislation will harm the free and open Internet and bring about new tools for censorship of international websites inside the United States," the Wikimedia foundation said.
The Stop Online Piracy Act in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Protect Intellectual Property Act under consideration in the Senate are designed to crack down on sales of pirated U.S. products overseas.

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.
