SOPA hearing postponed

The January 18th SOPA hearing has been postponed. This is probably in response to the Obama administrations claim that they did not support the act and the fact that a number of companies arrange a black out. Of course now we will have to pay closer attention to PIPA and SOPA still is not dead. But its all still good news
