Lamar Smith removes DNS blocking from SOPA
In a statement on his website, Smith said he's removing the provision "so that the Committee can further examine the issues surrounding this provision. We will continue to look for ways to ensure that foreign websites cannot sell and distribute illegal content to U.S. consumers."
We don't dare truly believe this is evidence that Smith is listening to us, but it's still proof that change is possible. Keep talking to your congresspeople about this.

At least they're smart enough to know what the people want and not, "what is good for the country!"
I can't believe this is even an issue considering (while i might be wrong on this)that it kinda infringes on our freedom of speech!

vokalJtag-MasterTHECARJACKER The people who don't care about SOPA because its happening in the US and not anywhere else, should still be worrying. If the bill is passed in the US (However unlikely), it will mean the UK and other parts of Europe will likely follow suit.
Whatever the US seems to do, the UK copies
The UK already HAS it, it's called the Digital Economy Act, it has provisions that allow the EXACT SAME THING AS SOPA! and what did you do? just let it pass? sigh.
the DEA is a rip of the DMCA ,not the same thing the rest of the world minus china follows and uses re hashed versions of the US laws concerning most technology related issues.
No the EUCD is the ripoff of the DMCA not the DEA.
