Wikipedia and several other sites went dark this morning in protest of SOPA and PIPA legislation.

U.S. Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, who introduced the SOPA bill, denied it would censor the Internet, saying that it will protect American workers, investors and job creators.

“Perhaps during the blackout, Internet users can look elsewhere for an accurate definition of online piracy.”
