Tomorrow many of the sites that you visit will participate in a temporary blackout in protest of the SOPA/PIPA legislation that will be voted on by Congress.

The justification for this legislation is weak at best. We all remember the “DVD’s are going to kill the movie industry” panic. Then it was MP3 players, then Netflix was going to kill the movie theater industry…this is just another panic attack from an industry that has had little to panic over in reality.
