From an entirely US perspective, this is good. If the court order followed through, there'd be fallout, and perhaps some of the 21 social networking sites will decide they don't want to play ball and they shut down in India instead. Then there exists a clear-cut example where overreaching regulation interferes with the Internet, another minor blow to SOPA discussions in the US.
