They already had the plans for the overzealous Megaupload formed while we were busy protesting SOPA. I guess Hollywood makes good campaign contributions.
Both bills are now on hold as the respective bodies “re-evaluate” them, which might be code for “we need more money” or “if we put these on the back shelf, people may forget about them.”
They’ll hide one or both bills as an amendment to a bill no one opposes–a legislative Trojan Horse.
