Longer version, it apparently scared the financial supporters of
the bill
enough they are starting their own pro-SOPA advertising campaign
and media
blitz. So that battle is far from over.
Arstechnica has some great articles on it from yesterday if you
care to
read them.

Speaking of which...

So yes some people got the message, not all. And the fight is far
from
over.

They are scared - that's good
They have lots of money to fund misleading ads (or outright lies) -
that's bad.
Too many people don't understand the technology enough to make or
demand sound decisions. That's a huge opportunity - but not only for
us, of course.
So yes, you're right, Will.
It's up to all of us to find and communicate good metaphors that
provide a starting point for those we want to get interested and
involved. There'll always be bills, acts and campaigns, I don't know
any reason how the fight could ever be over.

Say you have a poem and I have a tune.
Exchange them and we can both have a poem, a tune, and a song.
