Votes on both pieces of legislation have been suspended for the time being.
Earlier this week it was announced that SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect IP Act) had lost tremendous amounts of support in the Senate and Congress. The loss of support was in large part due to the number of blackouts that occurred all over the internet protesting these bills. In line with these developments house judiciary committee chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and Senate majority leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) both announced plans to delay any further movement on either piece of legislation.
