Today, many major web sties are going dark to stage a protest against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA).
If you are not familiar with either of these acts, you should take today to get familiar with them. Online piracy and copyright infringement is something we hear and talk about in relation to comics all the time, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. No matter your personal politics, this is an important issue that anyone who uses the internet should know about.
Wikipedia is one of the major sites that have gone dark today, but you can still find information on both SOPA and PIPA, as well as a good FAQ through their main page, www.wikipedia.org.
We will now return you to your regular programming.
