Congress has indefinitely postponed the PIPA and SOPA bill legislation until furthur notice. Congress is going to revise the bill and try to find a fair and happy median between internet users and the entertainment industry. The SOPA and PIPA bills would greatly restrict media sharing on the internet, as well as give the government the authority to shut down any website that holds copyrighted material, wether they are or are not claiming it to be theirs. This is seen as a major victory for internet users as many have been lobbying to keep the internet open and free of government hand.
