Ding dong, SOPA is dead.


DING DONG, THE WITCH IS DEAD. For now, at least, the "ill-conceived lobbyist-driven piece of legislation" known as the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) is no more:



Misguided efforts to combat online privacy have been threatening to stifle innovation, suppress free speech, and even, in some cases, undermine national security. As of yesterday, though, there's a lot less to worry about.


…Though the administration did [not] issue a formal veto threat, the White House's opposition signaled the end of these bills, at least in their current form.


A few hours later, Congress shelved SOPA, putting off action on the bill indefinitely.
