web site blackout day

Today is web-blackout day as part of an effort to highlight the SOPA/PIPA bill in Congress. I urge you  to note the situation and decide what you think about it.  I am not a scholar on the subjects of intellectual property or the Bill of Rights.  I think copyright rights are basic and should be protected and at the same time, I believe in widespread freedom of speech.

You may want to take a look at www.google.com today.  Here is what seems to me to be a good piece on the problem, rationally written in a balanced way.

We will see what develops.
