Sen. Harry Reid (D-NV) is putting the PROTECT IP Act on hold. “In light of recent events, I have decided to postpone Tuesday’s vote on the PROTECT IP Act,” he said in a tweet.
“There’s no reason that legitimate issues raised about PROTECT IP can’t be resolved,” he said. “Counterfeiting & piracy cost 1000s of jobs yearly.”
“Americans rightfully expect to be fairly compensated 4 their work. I’m optimistic that we can reach compromise on PROTECT IP in coming weeks,” he concluded.
