[governance] SOPA/PIPA protest

[Avri Doria]

Hi,

I must say, especially given my original skepticism that such a protest could work, that I am extremely impressed by how well it worked.  While we cannot expect any such result to hold for very long it really appears that the US congress is backing down on SOPA/PIPA for the moment.
