Browse around the internet today and you'll see 'blackout' protests on Wikipedia, Google, Wired, Wordpress, BoingBoing and, so CNN reports, thousands of others.
What's SOPA and PIPA all about?
Good question.
Here's Wikipedia's explanation, and what Google put up today... and I'd encourage you to look at a few others.
I framed up a few discussions on this with a tale about something called 'Act 60' in Vermont education, a 'ready, fire, aim' sort of legislation which many of my long standing friends viewed as, well, let's just say 'less than than stellar.'
SOPA and PIPA as written would have a dramatic impact on the web as we know it. Some support it, some vehemently oppose it, and some are calling for it to be much more refined and by a wider audience before it's goes to vote... hence the 'ready, fire, aim' analogy.
Where do you stand on this?
Interesting questions indeed.
thanks for sharing this useful information about SOPA AND PIPA.
