I believe SOPA is dead, PIPA is next.

Good post GJ. Another good read on the technical aspects of the bills (broken down from things taken directly from the bill): http://blog.reddit.com/2012/01/technical-examination-of-sopa-and.html It's actually not too technical, and I recommend reading it as it makes clear exactly what would be expected of your favorite internet sites and why it's so bad.
These bills are unbelievably dangerous to the well-being of the internet. They in no way aid in the ability to stop piracy, so being against them in no way means you're supporting piracy. If you read all about this and are against it, seriously call your senator(s). Both of the NC senators are for the SOPA and PIPA bills and I haven't been able to get through the phone system yet (hopefully a good thing). I know Kirsten Gillibrand from NY is also in support (potentially Schumer too). If you need numbers to call, check out this site: http://lifeaftersopa.cheezburger.com/

SOPA isn't dead, it's been shelved until February. PIPA is just as dangerous though.

I think Obama said he would VETO it if it came across his desk. Or so I heard, never know what is the truth now a days. I'd be surprised if these actually were put into law. Not to say they won't try again eventually.

Obama would veto it as it sits now, but he would be ok with certain changes. I'm not convinced there's much worth saving in the bill.
