On January 12, 2012, Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-VT), Chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee overseeing PIPA, [72][73] and House sponsor Lamar Smith announced [74] that provisions related to DNS redirection would be pulled from their respective bills. [75][76]

Secondly, Mozilla already has software embedded in their browser that would translate blocked DNS into the ip addresses for you.

They couldn't BLOCK anything, they would only redirect you, and even that's been removed from the bill.

Lastly, this bill is aimed at music, movie, drug piracy. Billions of dollars are lost when people sell fake drugs from Canada that kill people.

Movies music, fall of Napster gave rise to iTunes and Amazon. I download movies but buy my music cause of quality.

Somethjng has to give and if they crack down on pirated music so be it.
