unless there is real consensus on the bill . This is great news - although, as indicated by the ISSA in its statement, it is worrisome that Senator Reid seems to still want to proceed with the PIP:

"Although still concerned about the Senate action on legislation to protect intellectual property, I am sure that the legislation will not be wrong in this House. Head the majority of Cantor assured me that we will continue working to resolve outstanding issues and to work toward a consensus before any anti-piracy legislation coming to the House for a vote, "said Chairman Issa." The voice Internet community has been heard. much education for members of Congress on the operation of the Internet is essential for anti-piracy legislation will be viable and make a great appeal. "

"Earlier tonight, President Smith said he would reduce the available DNS block legislation. Despite the soup, despite the elimination of this provision is still a fundamentally flawed bill, j ' I decided that postponement of the hearing scheduled for DNS blocking with technical experts is the best course of action at this time. At that time, the purpose of protecting the Internet must be in the Senate, where Majority Leader Reid, announced their intention to try to put similar legislation in less than two weeks. "
