Yesterday, many big sites on the Internet, including Wikipedia and Craigslist, went dark to protest two anti-piracy bills currently in committee in the House and Senate, commonly called SOPA and PIPA.

Did yesterday's blackout affect you?
Kelsey, great info! In other words, the fight has not ended!
I got an email from Fight for the Future that said before the blackout there were 5 opposed to the bill, and now there are 35 opposed. There needs to be 41 no votes to permanently stall it.
Certainly drove the point home.
I suspect that the blackout got some good results..... :D
