SOPA/PIPA Blackout

Thank you for bearing with us and our modest protest yesterday. For the aftermath on the widely publicized blackouts, see the following links:

• Wikipedia on "was the blackout successful?"
• Ars Technica and Forbes name 18 (and counting) Senators dropping their support for PIPA, including 7 co-sponsors of the bill
• New York Times perspective on old media vs. new media as it manifested yesterday
• Up-to-date tally of all 100 Senators and their stances on PIPA
• Gizmodo covers the visceral reaction bringing Senate websites down

Local representation:

• Benjamin Cardin (D-MD) - Co-sponsor of PIPA but has changed his stance to "no" as of 18 January
• Barbara Mikulski (D-MD) - No to SOPA, undecided on PIPA
• Mark Warner (D-VA) - No to both SOPA and PIPA
• Jim Webb (D-VA) - Remains uncommitted until shortly before a vote

Slept on the protest? Still don't understand how SOPA/PIPA will break the Internet? This video distills the issue for you.
