Many websites and organizations are now protesting against the newly proposed bills SOPA (Stop Online Piracy Act) and PIPA (Protect Intellectual Property Act) introduced to the United States House of Representatives by Lamar S. Smith Chairman of House Judiciary Committee on October 26, 2011. Thousands of Major Websites like Wikipedia, Reddit and Natural News blacked out their pages for a 24 hour protest period against the eventual passing of these two bills into law by the American congress.
If passed these two bills allow the government of the United States to block any website, which falls outside of the Stop Online Piracy Act and PROTECT IP Act boundaries. These Acts are unjustified, flawed and destructive to the nature of the Internet and freedom of speech.

A big hurrah to you!!!!! We all have won for now -- SOPA and PIPA were dropped by Congress today. The largest online protest in history has fundamentally changed the game. You were heard.
On January 18th, 13 million of us took the time to tell Congress to protect free speech rights on the internet. Hundreds of millions, maybe a billion, people all around the world saw what we did on Wednesday. It's No SOPA & No PIPA for now. 1 year ago
