Wikipedia Shut-Down for SOPA

Hi All. It has been some time since i posted on this blog. But i had to make time to make this post. Wikipedia has shut down its domain in protest of the SOPA bill (Stop Online Piracy Act) and this is very disturbing to majority of us. Basically Federal law enforcement has the authority to shut down U.S.-based websites that offer pirated content, but they can't directly do the same to foreign sites like Pirate Bay. This Bill will indeed affect many if passed, i understand the whole concept of piracy, but this will in turn affect many other website and the content they display, the internet will no longer be the same. Let us know what you think about this bill and should or should it not be passed.
