Apparently SOPA and PIPA are not as dead as I thought. BOO.

SOPA Shelved After Veto Threat | The Mary Sue

::High-fives everyone who emailed or called their congressperson::

Of course, this doesn't guarantee that Stop Online Piracy Act (or it's bastard child, PIPA--Protect IP Act) won't rear their ugly, ugly heads again (especially if Obama loses the next election), but right now this is a great blow for freedom of expression in the US, and I am one very happy camper.

Yes! Except it turns out the article I linked to was wrong. There has been no veto threat and it will still be voted on Monday. D:
