Do you miss Wikipedia?
January 18, 2012
Last night at midnight, the English version of Wikipedia went black and displayed this message:
Wikipedia and other websites are protesting the bills, Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the House of Representatives and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) in the Senate.
Google has blacked out their logo on their home page in protest, too.
What do you think about these bills?
Do these bills give the federal government too much power or is this a necessary step to help stop online piracy?
