SOPA is not dead. They only postponed the vote.

Right now it doesn't have enough votes to pass, but it could again gain supporters.

Congress has a history if keeping a bill on the back burner and waiting for the people to forget about things. Then one day, someone will look up in the room and say, let's call a vote on issue "X" (in this case, SOPA).

All the talking and debating would have been done behind closed doors and Congress just needs to walk out into the public floor, call a vote, and its passed.
