SOPA - dead for real this time?

I reported in a previous blog post that SOPA appeared to be dead. Then it looked like I was premature, as like a Zombie it just refused to die. Well now it may actually be dead for real, as it's chief sponsor Lamar Smith(R-Texas) said he is pulling the bill
"until there is wider agreement on a solution"
As Mike Masnick pointed out in his blog, by shutting down Megaupload the government has proven it doesn't need any new laws to go after sites it considers guilty of copyright infringement.
