SOPA and PIPA have failed in their current form much to the anger of Hollywood and those that value their intellectual propereties. But the creation of even a semblence of Web Police makes the Internet Lobby cringe and they revolted. It's like mandated health insurance, unconstitutional! If any power online could determine what could be put up on a site and challenge giants like Google, Amazon, Facebook, Twitter, etc... it would be the end of the Internet as we know it and the Freedom it gives us. Nobody wants that, so the bills were defeated in current form. Perhaps watered-down less harsh versions will resurface but they face a world of resistance from almost everyone. Forget Texas- DON'T MESS WITH THE INTERNET!!!
