Dems Finely waking up to PIPA internet killer

Reid postpones Senate vote on Internet piracy bill 

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has postponed Tuesday's scheduled vote on a controversial online piracy bill "in light of recent events," he announced Friday.
“There is no reason that the legitimate issues raised by many about this bill cannot be resolved," Reid said in a statement. "Counterfeiting and piracy cost the American economy billions of dollars and thousands of jobs each year, with the movie industry alone supporting over 2.2 million jobs. We must take action to stop these illegal practices."
Reid said he is "optimistic" the Senate can reach a compromise on the anti-piracy legislation, known as the Protect IP Act, in the coming weeks.
