Wikipedia Offline TOMORROW!

Wikipedia, Reddit and BoingBoing will be going offline for 24 hours on Wednesday to protest SOPA (the Stop Online Piracy Act) because information should be free! 

What would a day without Wikipedia be like?  Do we remember it?

      Hi Abdi,

      Yep...for the rest of Wednesday, Wikipedia will be on strike. Fortunately dictionaries and encyclopedias can't go on strike. They sit on the shelf, waiting... :)

      Anyway, I believe that the people who wanted to pass SOPA are reconsidering it now. Craigslist went on strike, too, to protest SOPA.
