They have set the bill to the side in January to go over it later in February 2011. One thing i was wondering is why they prolonged the debate over the bill. This was cause because the great opposition of the companies and organization of Wikipedia, Google and many others. This was a smart move i believe because approving this bill would have had so many effects on peoples lives. Not only of the regular people that visit these websites, but for the people that have invested their money into building and setting up these websites.

This article was created by the CBS News staff. I believe this is a credible information on knowing why they are holding off any action on legislation to battle online copyright.
