Well, color me happy, yea team and go us! We win! On January 20th, 2012, Congress dropped both SOPA and PIPA. Thank you everyone for your support and for such an over whelming demonstration that the American public IS actually awake and paying attention. I think we surprised a few people.

Congratulations and drinks all around… NICE that they were thoughtful enough to make this decision on a weekend.
Not to be the Cassandra of the bunch, but you DO realize this will be tried again and NEXT time they’ll be much more sneaky (they say savvy, I say sneaky).

Have a great weekend, all. Nice job.
