No Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act

The internet seems to be safe again. After SOPA and PIPA and CIPA all failed, unavoidably a new bill was proposed in US. CISPA came around to stop sharing copyrighted material. Through all these bills, the US could shut down sites or access to a website. As most websites are .com this would not only have effects in the US. Sites such as Wikipedia had a "blackout" day and Mozilla encourage users to action when SOPA was still a possibility. Now as CISPA was created the internet community was not as attentive and hoped that the people responsible to make it pass would stop it before the Internet would be ruined. 
Today Obama's advisor advised him to veto the bill unless significant changes were made to it. The online protests and Hacktivist (Anonymous and LulzSec) DOS attacks on several sites may have shown that the people and want a change and the Internet should be left alone.
