01.18.12 : The internet community has voluntarily blacked out their blogs, their online businesses, google has blacked out their name, WIKI has shut down…and many more… to make a point : for 24 hours on January 18th we have come together to raise awareness about legislation being proposed by the U.S. Congress — the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the PROTECT IP Act (PIPA) in the U.S. Senate — and to encourage readers to speak out against it. This legislation, if passed, will harm the free and open Internet. If you are in the United States, let your congressional representative know what you think of the proposed legislation by clicking here.
