DNS blocking provision pulled from SOPA, at least for now

http://j.mp/zGmQd9  (CNET)

   "Rep. Chairman Lamar Smith (R-Texas), one of the biggest backers of the
    Stop Online Piracy Act, today said he plans to remove the Domain Name
    System or DNS-blocking provision.  "After consultation with industry
    groups across the country," Smith said in a statement released by his
    office, "I feel we should remove DNS-blocking from the Stop Online
    Piracy Act so that the [U.S. House Judiciary] Committee can further
    examine the issues surrounding this provision."
