Wikipedia Blackout

http://www.wikipediablackout.com/

It's a rough situation for many economies around the globe right now, and wallets are shrinking for every one I know, but I'm pledging whatever I can spare to Wikipedia in support of their SOPA protest. They're going to blackout their entire website on January 18th to protest the Orwellian nature of the proposed SOPA legislation, and to educate the many internet users who don't realize just what this legislation will mean for them. I mean, just because *you're* not the one uploading or downloading "illegal" content doesn't mean this won't affect you!

This is happening on my birthday. It would mean a lot to me if other's donated just one dollar to Wikipedia on my b-day. You would be supporting not only the opposition of SOPA, but also a source of information by and for PEOPLE, instead of some encyclopedia writing company with their own agenda. And don't believe the anti-Wiki rhetoric spewed by publishers. It's just propaganda. So what if your college professor says Wikipedia isn't a good source of information. Check Wikipedia, and compare it to Encyclopedia Britanica and Microsoft Encarta, then check some primary sources on your own, and see for yourself what's better.
