My understanding is that the "passover" agreement was scheduled to expire sometime in the very near future (before year end) and I have not seen anything that would say that this has changed.

In fact, with a judgement in hand regarding the injunction, it is possible that the DoJ will quickly move to amend the rules, republish them, and put everyone back on the 90 day day hot plate. If they remove and clarify the issues of secondary producers, live chat rooms and such, they might be able to get the rest of the rules to stick without the potential for injunction. There is no reason for the DoJ to move forward in the courts with the current published rules if they are sure that at least some of it would get shut down.

They may also decide to withdraw them all together, if they feel that the Senate and House will pass rules that would be as restrictive or more than what got shot down today.

I look forward to what the FSC lawyers have to say about this.
