Holy moly. I just saw on the news that most of the free search sites like Google & Wikipedia are on a 24 hour strike as a protest against some bills in congress SOPA & PIPA... something about anti-piracy acts... I'd look it up - but can't!

Bing is still working.

The Consumerist has a series of articles today each discussing how SOPA/PIPA affects the regular consumer. They feature interviews with CEOs of companies/webistes that have chosen to go silent today.

Thanks for the info! I just caught the tail end of the news about this. I'll look it up!

I am glad the web-sites are doing this to show us what it is like to have a totalitarian government. Our Founding Fathers would turn over in their graves if they could hear some of the blatant acts of violence to our constitution - both actual and threatened.
