Not in the slightest. Your good cheer on the subject comes across as
lacking awareness of the lay of the land.

"Shelved" is entirely different to "dead", and SOPA-like ideas come
back like hordes of zombies. This is the latest in a long line of such
bills, and there will be more later.

SOPA is not "dead" until it has a stake through its heart and its head
stuffed in a pickle jar with a lemon in its mouth. Even then I'd keep
a sledgehammer handy.
