In an effort to draw public attention to a new law in Congress, Wikipedia and other large websites have decided to go dark (shutdown) today in protest. Other major sites like Google will post links to important information about this pending law referred to mostly as the Stop Online Piracy Act or SOPA. The US Chamber Commerce and most members of the Hollywood community approve of this new law, while Internet companies oppose it.
