I was just looking around the internet and came across a page saying that Lamar Smith (author and main supporter of SOPA) said he is "pulling the bill 'until there is wider agreement on solution.'" So the bill has been stopped for now, but he makes it clear that he wants to bring it back into play at some point. However, he is not part of the senate, so if I'm correct this does not stop PIPA from taking action. EDIT: I apologize for not going into deeper research before originally posting this but I just found another article speaking on the closing of PIPA. The 40 supporters of it all backed out, not too long after the group Anonymous hacked the FBI's website. Makes you wonder, did they get scared?
