Now here’s an awesome end to what’s been a terrible week. Lamar Smith, the chief sponsor of SOPA, said on Friday that he is pulling the bill. The move comes after widespread protest on the Internet on Wednesday by Wikipedia, Reddit and others. The sites signaled their displeasure with the bill by going dark. That day, several Congressmen dropped their support for SOPA and its Senate counterpart, PIPA. The latter bill has also been taken off the table for now.

I think a lot of us, Netizens, are breathing a sigh of relief after hearing this great news. OUR INTERNET IS SAFE! Victory is ours, but the battle has not been won yet. It’s just postponed.
