DNS Provision Pulled From SOPA

Posted by Soulskill on from the time-to-double-down,-protesters dept.

New submitter crvtec sends this excerpt from CNet: "Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas), one of the biggest backers of the Stop Online Piracy Act, today said he plans to remove the Domain Name System blocking provision. 'After consultation with industry groups across the country,' Smith said in a statement released by his office, 'I feel we should remove (DNS) blocking from the Stop Online Piracy Act so that the [U.S. House Judiciary] Committee can further examine the issues surrounding this provision.'"

    you vote counts! ... oh be serious

    You're right. No votes are actually involved in picking city, county, and state legislators, muncipal, county, and state executives, congresssional representatives and senators, and president. When we count them, they're all fake, and aren't actually related to humans casting votes. Your congressman is actually picked by secret members of the Trilateral Commission as they fly over in black helicopters deploying mind-control devices made by Haliburton on specs from the Rothschilds.
