On January 18th Wikipedia, Google, and other websites began a protest against the SOPA and PIPA. Wikipedia did this by creating a blackout that will last 24 hours. SOPA is short for "Stop Online Piracy Act," while PIPA stands for "Protect IP Act." Both bills are meant to stop copyright violations. In my opinion I think there is a thin line here. A major point of the internet is to access free and open information. While copyrighting information is wrong I believe a compromise can be made to make internet use safer and easier.
