Poll: What Do You Think About the Online Anti-Piracy Bills?
The "Stop Online Piracy" and "Protect Intellectual Property" acts were drafted to help fight websites that engage in or host copyrighted material. Some popular websites like Wikipedia have shut down in protest. What do you think of the bills?

Some have argued that the "Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)" and the "Protect IP Act (PIPA)," bills to go before the Senate on Jan. 24, could hinder the free flow of information on the Internet.Â
Encyclopedia website Wikipedia and the popular search engine Google have both expressed disdain for the online piracy bills. Wikipedia, like many other websites across the Internet, shutdown for 24 hours in protest. Google blacked out its logo.
Others, like Washington Post columnist Eva Rodriguez, claim that these bills won't "break the Internet" like opponents claim.
