Lamar Smith Proposes New Version Of SOPA, With Just A Few Changes

   "That doesn't actually fix the problems with censorship and DNS
    blocking. It just lets the Judiciary Committee try to wash its hands
    of the complaint and say: okay, service providers, you deal with it.
    That's not helpful.  Most of the rest of this section seems pretty
    much the same, though it removes the hard five day deadline, which
    MasterCard had complained about as being unfeasible. Now it's all
    about "expeditiously as possible." I guess a judge becomes the final
    arbiter on what expeditious means.  Also left totally in place: the
    anti-circumvention clauses that will outlaw all sorts of legal
    encryption and VPN tools."
