Only a delay, but it's still good news.

The bill would essentially give hollywood the control to block any website they deem in offense of copyright. Youtube, with all it's videos, is a huge offender.

It has to be in there, even if it's worded "nicely." Where is it?

I am also a Republican and I myself do not agree with some of the things that republicans are doing. There has been a big downfall in political structure this year and probably much more.
