GOP Sen. Ayotte withdraws support for piracy legislation

Freshman Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-NH) became the fifth senator to drop her support for the Protect IP Act after a massive Web protest against the bill. "America’s innovators and consumers need to be protected from the very real problem of online piracy. However, the overwhelming input I’ve received from New Hampshire citizens makes it clear there are many legitimate concerns that deserve further consideration before Congress moves forward on this legislation," Sen Ayotte said
