Wikipedia et al. going dark tomorrow

Staring at midnight Wednesday, January 18th Wikipedia will "go dark" for 24 hours in protest of several anti-piracy bills before congress (even though the White House has pulled support for one of the bills).

Here's a CNN interview with Wikipedia co-founder Jimmy Wales on this unprecedented political action.

Reddit, a popular social news website, also plans to go down, and one of the blog's administrators explains why they object to the pending legislation.
