Take a Minute

Regardless of your stance on the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), I encourage you to take a moment to learn a little bit more about it.  It was really interesting today to see how some of our internet powerhouses used themselves as platforms in protest of the act.  What are your thoughts?


 
Wikipedia.

More about the protest, via CNN.
A review of the debate.
Gawker: What Even Non Nerds Need to Know About SOPA.
On a lighter note: students (and teachers!) freak out over their lack of Wikipedia.
