SOPA Protest

Did anyone try and access a web site yesterday that took you instantly to a black page on the SOPA protest. I tried Wikipedia and they were part of the protest.

"The Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA) have lost some support on Capitol Hill after many websites shut down in protest this week. Once a co-sponsor of PIPA, Senator Marco Rubio of Florida reversed his position and said he hoped a new piece of legislation could be put into place that would address Internet piracy "while protecting free and open access to the Internet.” Meanwhile, after its protest Wednesday, Wikipedia continues to provide users with instructions on how to fight SOPA and PIPA."

For the rest of the story, please go to CNN.
