Kids, get your homework done today. Wikipedia is one of several websites participating in a one-day blackout on Wednesday, to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act, reports the LA Times. Founder Jimmy Wales says SOPA and other anti-piracy legislation supported by the movie and music industries encourages censorship. Mozilla, Wordpress and TwitPic are also planning to go black tomorrow.
