English Wikipedia to be Blacked Out To Protest SOPA and PIPA

I was surprised as I read this messages on top of Wikipedia's site. It says that, "Please note: in less than 8 hours, the English Wikipedia will be blacked out globally to protest SOPA and PIPA". This simply means that starting January 18, 2012, Wikipedia in English will be unavailable for 24 hours. I believed a lot of people especially the students and even myself will be very sad about this. I love this site and it is like my encyclopedia.
