Victory: Internet Censorship Bill is Delayed, For Now
Victory: Internet Censorship Bill is Delayed, For Now: Via EFF.org Updates.
This morning's Politico brought with it great news for those who care about free speech and fair use online:
A markup on SJC Chairman Leahy’s IP infringement bill was postponed late Wednesday, as staffers anticipated the chamber would finish legislative work and adjourn for recess before the hearing could commence. The change in plans should delight some of the bill’s critics, at least, who expressed concern that the legislation was moving forward quickly.
Translation: The Senate Judiciary Committee won't be considering the dangerously flawed “Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeits Act” (COICA) bill until after the midterm elections, at least.
This is a real victory!
