[Rossman]

Mr. Polis is best congressman.

did it pass or what

[Eric_Fong]

It passed.

AFAIK, the billed hasn’t been passed or denied yet, they are continuing at 10AM EST.

also, Jared Polis had this analogy about the bill:

Instead of closing down and arresting everyone in a crackhouse, it’s like changing all the streetsigns and roads so that it’s a lot more difficult to find the crackhouse. But it’s still there, and if you try hard enough, you can find it. It also messes everyone else up, making places much hard to find for other folks.

[Eric_Fong]

My mistake.

[Bolteh]

You can all breathe again. It has been adjourned with no new date set.

@Bolteh

You can all pirate movies, music, and games again. It has been adjourned with no new date set.

Fixed

You would be able to pirate even if the bill passed. It wouldn’t stop it. It would’ve just messed up legitimate Internet use.
