The Internet is closed for the day

 

SOPA: Stop Online Piracy Act

This is a protest against proposed US legislation. It's stated aim is to prevent piracy but in effect it will curtail free speech, reduce online security, grant more power to already powerful Internet companies and have a shit load of unintended consequence for the rest of us.

Normally I would put a link to Wikipedia here to help you find out exactly how this piece of misguided legislation can be so damaging but they are closing too - so you may just have to wait until tomorrow.

Other websites will be covering the issue so you could always Google it - assuming they are open.

See you tomorrow - probably.
