SOPA and PIPA supporters downplay widespread protests against the legislation. Critics say the bills, while well-intentioned, are still badly crafted and will affect legitimate U.S. websites as well as foreign sites.

Sponsors of the bills have shown little indication they will drop the legislation despite the protests.”]
