Sen. Harry Reid announced today he's postponing the PIPA vote due to recent events. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Lamar Smith said he is putting the SOPA vote on hold.

Reid is still holding out hope for PIPA:

"There is no reason that the legitimate issues raised by many about this bill cannot be resolved."
