Today, the Internet is fighting back against the proposed Stop Online Piracy Act (a.k.a. "SOPA") and the Protect IP Act (a.k.a. "PIPA"), both currently making their ways through the United States government. Both acts focus on combating online piracy and copyright infringement, but in turn, many believe that the bills are an "American Internet Censorship" of sorts.
Over the past week, several websites have been pledging their support to "go dark" for 24 hours today, January 18, 2012, to protest their opposition against these two bills. Companies participating include Wikipedia, Google, Reddit, Mozilla, and others.
We've compiled a series of images below that show you what a "SOPA-fied" Internet would look like, based on how websites are appearing today.
