News: something to be aware of.

Many websites such as wikipedia are blacked out to protest censorship.  SOPA and PIPA are laws being discussed in congress that would restrict free speech and unfairly censor the internet.  I don't know a ton about the topic, but as it stands support them in their protest.  I'm not for piracy, but all signs point to this law being the wrong way of going about it, and limit the freedom of the last free media front.  What do you think? 

googles description of the topic, and what can be done.
