The author never bothers to explain why SOPA and PIPA are still bad without the DNS provision. Instead, he takes an unyielding position and uses propagandist language to make his point.

It's good to see the EFF explain why the bills are still bad here (last paragraph):

The DNS provision has not even been removed, only delayed in implementation until "more study is done on its effects", its a farce, we study the effects of bills before they are passed, not after the fact, where they can implement whatever they want with no recourse.

As the article does not appear to be directed at people who are on the fence or in support of SOPA, I can't blame him for not wasting his time explaining why it's still bad. Preaching to the choir is tedious.
