The internet has been blacked out for January 18, 2012 to protest against the SOPA/PIPA legislations that are set for hearings in the US.
I didn’t pay much heed to SOPA for long time, since I have aware of its happenings for quite some time now. But when companies which you look up-to like Wikipedia, WordPress, Reddit take a stand on it, and so strongly as to protest and go blacking themselves, you have to sit up and look!
