There is a lot of talk around the internet lately about the Stop Online Privacy Act (SOPA) and the Protect IP Act (PIPA).

A number of tech companies are getting ready to black out on Jan. 18 to protest SOPA and PIPA, including heavy hitters like Wikipedia, WordPress. org, and Reddit.

They are using the blackout of a way of warning what might happen if SOPA becomes law.
