Wikipedia Black-out on 18th Jan in Protest of SOPA

Hangout GupShup Cafe

I know this is about technology, but I put it here coz I feel everyone should protest about it, not just tech gurus.

"In the digital world, it’s the equivalent of going on strike. Tomorrow, a number of high-profile websites, including Wikipedia, Reddit, Cheezburger Network and Boing Boing, will go dark for up to a day to protest against contentious anti-piracy legislation proposed by the U.S. Congress.

I wish that they succeed with their protest so that we don’t lose our freedom on the net too.

P.S. Mods if you feel it should be moved, then please do.
