Undoubtedly coverage of progress on SOPA and PIPA will slacken now that both bills have been shelved and many, prematurely, are calling this week’s black out a victory.

I hope to see, and will be adding my voice to, a sustained call for more constructive engagement between technologists of all stripes and policy makers.
