Google Reports 7 Million Signatures on Anti-SOPA Petition

GOOD.  (Correction/Update: Now 7 million signatures.  An earlier report noted 4.5 million) Meanwhile, SOPA and PIPA are losing sponsors in Congress amid the rage of millions of nerds and geeks ... nerds and geeks who vote.  Ah, digital grassroots.


UPDATE: See this cool breakdown of who in Congress publicly supports or opposes SOPA/PIPA before and after the January protests.  Oh, I hope it's so.  I'm especially glad to see that Marco Rubio (R-Florida) has disavowed PIPA.  Meanwhile, other senators are running from PIPA like rats  Francesco Schettino from a sinking ship.  In current politics, all the GOP presidential candidates in the latest debate came out opposing SOPA/PIPA.  These bills have now become political Kryptonite.
