Internet Blacked Out

The logo for Google ... BLACKED OUT!

The entire, English content of Wikipedia ... BLACKED OUT!

So why are these and other internet sites totting this blackout out of content? It is all part of an organized protest against two bills of anti-piracy legislation that moving through the Congress. Critics claim that the bills, the Stop Online Piracy Act and the Protect Intellectual Property Act, are an affront to free speech on the internet and are concerned that many websites will be unfairly blacklisted by regulators for reports of alleged, but unproven, copyright infringements.
