Can the world live without Wikipedia for a day? Anyone who visits this site today will see that the site has gone dark to protest anti-piracy legislation which frankly threatens anyone who puts content on the web. As a result you’ll notice sympathy moves by some of the web’s most popular sites.
Bills Stop Online Piracy Act in the House and the Protect IP Act in the Senate backed by major media companies is meant to discourage online piracy but gives media companies too much power to shut down websites. Today’s NYT’s article explains these bills and the response from bloggers, technology leaders and major sites like Google and Wikipedia to raise awareness and encourage people like you and me to speak out against this bad legislation.
As a show of sympathy I will not post any other articles today, and I hope you will lend your voice to let your US Congressmen / Senators know that you oppose this legislation.
