It is sponsored by the Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT). It has its own acronym &#8211; PIPA &#8211; and it is scheduled for a cloture vote on January 24th.<\/p>\n<p>The Strike Against SOPA and PIPA have an online petition which will deliver your message to your representatives.<\/p>\n<p>The bill in the Senate currently has 38 co-sponsors as Sen. Mark Rubio (R-FL) and Sen. Jerry Moran (R-KS) have withdrawn their support from the bill.<\/p>\n<p>What I fail to understand is why any Republican is a co-sponsor of either bill as it rewards Hollywood, the recording industry, and other media companies who have supported and financed Democrats for years.

Roy Blunt, a Missouri Republican.<\/p>\n<p>Sen. John Boozman, an Arkansas Republican, &#8220;will be withdrawing his name as a co-sponsor&#8221; of Protect IP, a spokesman told CNET today. Fellow Protect IP co-sponsor Sen. James Risch, an Idaho Republican, said today that he wants &#8220;more time to re-examine the legislation before going to a vote&#8221; and has asked staff for a detailed briefing, a spokesman said.<\/p>\n<p>And Sen. Orrin Hatch, the Utah Republican who has long been a close ally of Hollywood on copyright and is up for re-election this year, said on Twitter that &#8220;I will not only vote against moving the bill forward next week but also remove my co-sponsorship of the bill.&#8221; Hatch&#8217;s volte face is notable because of his enthusiasm for similar measures in the past: once proposed that copyright holders should be allowed to remotely destroy the computers of music pirates and tried to outlaw peer-to-peer networks through his Induce Act.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><b>&nbsp;UPDATE II: <\/b>Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) Tweeted this evening that she was removing her co-sponsorship of the bill <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rollcall.com\/news\/internet_piracy_bills_lose_support_senate_pipa_sopa-211609-1.html?pos=hln\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">according to Rollcall.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>UPDATE III:<\/b> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.businessinsider.com\/18-new-senators-oppose-pipa-after-yesterdays-protests-2012-1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ars Technica<\/a> is reporting that 7 of the original co-sponsors have removed their names from the bill and are actively against it. I have crossed those 7 off the List of Shame. They did this in response to the swell of opposition to PIPA.<\/p>\n<p>One of my senators, Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC), still seems to be more dependent on Hollywood money than the voters of North Carolina. 2014 cannot get here soon enough.<\/p>\n<p><strong>UPDATE IV:<\/strong> Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-IA) who is listed as one of the co-sponsors of this bill released this yesterday. I need to check if he is still listed as a co-sponsor.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>Senate Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Chuck Grassley released the following statement regarding the Senate\u2019s Protect IP Act.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s critical we protect the intellectual property rights of our businesses and fight online infringement, but at the same time, we can\u2019t do harm to the internet, the Constitution, or the ability of businesses to grow and innovate. Internet piracy is illegal, and we need to find a way that works for all sides. The current Protect IP Act needs more due diligence, analysis, and substantial changes. As it stands right now, I can\u2019t support the bill moving forward next week.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Preventing Real Online Threats to Economic Creativity and Theft of Intellectual Property Act of 2011, S. 968, is&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"iawp_total_views":1,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[3073,3985,3986],"class_list":["post-3600","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-internet-privacy","tag-pipa","tag-s-968"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3600","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=3600"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3600\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7609,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3600\/revisions\/7609"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=3600"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=3600"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=3600"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
