In protest of SOPA and PIPA I've blacked out my facebook. Websites such as Wikipedia, google, and redit are doing the same. Join me! Its fun.

It got actually started back up today and will be voted on in February.

http://www.escapistmagazine.com/news/view/115303-SOPA-Storms-Back

"Lamar Smith, who introduced the bill in the U.S. House of Representatives, put out a press release today saying that markup of the bill is expected to resume in February."

That is some good news.

But PIPA still remains unaffected. While blacking out your facebook is a good way to raise awareness. It isnt enough.

Please write or call to your local congressmen and tell them that you oppose these bills.
