Chalk up another one: Sen. John Boozman (R-AR) has withdrawn his support of the internet piracy bill PIPA, via a statement on his Facebook page:

Over the past few weeks, the chorus of concerns over Congressional efforts to address online piracy has intensified. I can say, with all honesty, that the feedback I received from Arkansans has been overwhelmingly in opposition to the Senate bill (S.968, the PROTECT IP Act) in its current form. That is why I am announcing today that I intend to withdraw my support for the Protect IP Act.
