Dark Web

It will be interesting to see what kind of impact today's Web blackouts have. The SOPA and PIPA bills are clearly overkill (except to their corporate supporters), but this sort of protest by organizations like Google and Wikipedia is something too new to have a predictable effect. If you're reading this, you use the Web, so you have an opinion. But I know that at least some people who visit this site do not live in the US, so the fact that a US law could so easily affect them says something about how, although Web use has become common, the nuances of how it is used are still often poorly appreciated.
