Last week, Judiciary Chairman Lamar Smith made a concession on the Stop Online Piracy Act. He excised one of the more controversial clauses from the bill—that demanding that internet service providers block foreign sites that were deemed harmful to intellectual properties—while Senator Patrick Leahy promised to do much the same with sister bill PIPA. Now, it appears that SOPA has hit a more significant roadblock. Majority Leader Eric Cantor has promised that voting on SOPA will be suspended until the House has reached a “consensus” on the bill. While this is tremendous news, there has been no word of a similar stoppage for PIPA.
