Obama waves goodbye to SOPA

President Obama has stated that he will not support the Bill.
It has been decided that the house will revisit the bill next month, and that any future bills MUST be more narrowly focused.

“The voice of the Internet community has been heard,” said Issa. “Much more education for members of Congress about the workings of the Internet is essential if anti-piracy legislation is to be workable and achieve broad appeal.”- California congressman Darrell Issa

However, PIPA is still in line for later this month, and would still allow companies to sue on website copyright infringment.
Obama has come out against both bills. The white house response can be found Here.
