Wikipedia Protests the "Stop Online Piracy Act"

Wikipedia is going dark for a day to protest SOPA. We get to the root of the protest.

The "Stop Online Piracy Act" has effectively drawn a line in the sand. On one side, industries lobbying for tighter copyright controls. On the other, advocates for free access to information. Decidedly on the latter side, Wikipedia is set to join a day of protest by going dark for a day. We get an update from the "SOPA Wars".

Kojo,

This is the first step in censoring the internet. Hope you'll like your Chinese type locked down internet in 10 years.
