Maybe, just maybe, the rapid response by the internet community will help kill these censorship bills.

Frankly censorship is far more dangerous to society than piracy. Creative works will always be created whether Hollywood executives get rich from it or not. Democratic society cannot withstand censorship.

I just blogged about the progress against SOPA:

"I thought we’d have to wait 20-25 years before a critical mass of people would defend the net. But SOPA has brought that day a lot closer. SOPA galvanized the tech community, from start-ups to venture capitalists to the largest web companies. SOPA was an unexpected shock and a wake-up call. Well, guess what? Now the internet is awake. And I don’t think it’s going back to sleep any time soon."

    In the U.S. I don't believe anything can overcome complete internet control by the government. They will hide under the secrecy of the Patriot Act. No politician wants to be seen as somehow helping terrorists. So they can't act to protect the public. They can only cower to government demands. We already know that Obama has asked for an internet "off-switch". Even if we think that censorship is defeated. The same people who gave us "no judge required – secret search warrants", will give us "no publicly available information about government internet control". Welcome to "1984"
