Reid cancels procedural vote on PIPA By: Jennifer Martinez January 20, 2012 09:40 AM EST Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid has postponed a procedural vote scheduled for Tuesday on the PROTECT IP Act, although he held out a glimmer of hope for a compromise in an online piracy push that many were proclaiming dead. "In light of recent events, I have decided to postpone Tuesday's vote on the PROTECT IP Act," Reid said in a statement. But the Nevada Democrat said talks would continue between the warring sides Hollywood and content providers are on one side and Silicon Valley and the tech community on the other. "We made good progress through the discussions we've held in recent days, and I am optimistic that we can reach a compromise in the coming weeks," Reid said. "There is no reason that the legitimate issues raised by many about this bill cannot be resolved, he added.

We must take action to stop these illegal practices.
