Obama Says So Long SOPA, Killing Controversial Internet
Piracy Legislation
The growing anti-SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) support that has
swept through the gaming and Internet community found a very big
ally today. With websites like Reddit and Wikipedia and gaming
organizations like Major League Gaming prepared for a blackout on
January 18th the same day that the House Judiciary
Committee hearing on HR 3261was scheduled in Washington,
DC President Barack Obama
has stepped in and said he would not support the bill.
SOPA has been delayed, for now. The House has agreed to revisit
the issue next month, but they now know the White House will veto
any bill thats not more narrowly focused.
