looks like todays blackouts are working, as people are pulling out of the bill by the herd full.

Republican Senator Orrin Hatch of Utah, once a co-sponsor, has pulled his support. He Tweeted: "It is simply not ready for prime time."

Senator Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) announced that he is withdrawing his support for the Protect IP Act, which he co-sponsored, though he still supports "the original intent of [the] bill."

Senator Marco Rubio and others also pulls out.



today is a success and a victory for the internet!

Good, politicians are very fair-weather people; the moment the get challenged on a scale like this, they back out.

The people have a little power, still.
