Web Protests Piracy Bills, and 2 Senators Change Course (New York Times)

The New York Times reports that Internet protests against anti-piracy legislation (SOPA and PIPA) are working. "Freshman Senator Marco Rubio of Florida, a rising Republican star, was first out of the starting gate Wednesday morning with his announcement that he would no longer back anti-Internet piracy legislation he had co-sponsored. Senator John Cornyn, the Texas Republican who heads the campaign operation for his party, quickly followed suit and urged Congress take more time to study the measure that had been set for a test vote next week."
