[pooyan2012]

wise decision, cuz we'll never stop sharing, (block one way we'll find other ways, you share once, you'll share forever :D ).

Seems it has only been delayed and it is not dead, and what about the backup bill PIPA. :s

The bill was never gonna pass in the first place!

Blackout by Wikipedia has helped a lot. Long Live Wikipedia

indeed .. and they got 150 millions hits yesterday itself
wiki was all over the news and here also

Edit:
SOPA has been delayed, for now. The House has agreed to revisit the issue next month, but they now know the White House will veto any bill that’s not more narrowly focused.
its been delayed @leonight add this too

All it takes is more money for bill to pass, and time. If it is not today, it will be silently tomorrow...

Correction: Jan. 19, 10:38 EST

President Barack Obama cannot “stop†the SOPA internet bill, as originally reported. NewsOne cited a Forbes article saying as much. But another Forbes writer, E.D. Cain, followed-up with this:

This isn’t quite right on several levels. The bills wouldn’t give copyright holders the capacity to sue – this is already the law of the land, for one thing. It would give content owners the ability to actually shut down websites that they believe violate their copyright.

The more troubling error in John’s statement, however, is that Obama’s statement “killed SOPA.†This is simply not the case, even if it is some nice wishful thinking.

SOPA is very much alive, though it has been drastically slowed down. Minority Whip, Eric Cantor, has assured SOPA-opponent Rep. Darrell Issa that the bill won’t move forward without consensus. Whatever that means, it surely does not mean that SOPA is dead.
