The accesses to Wikipedia will find a black page today, this blackout is in protest against the SOPA and PIPA bills that are in the US parliament waiting to be passed. The move is to prevent copyright infringement but as wikipedia observes this, it is an axes the right of common man to access information freely on the internet. And Wikipedia finds future troubles associated with the bills and also mentions this as ill prepared set of bills. The details are listed here:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:SOPA_initiative/Learn_more
But if you will like to get information through wikipedia today, you will have to try the mobile version of the site, it is still available on the android phone apps and ipad browsers. PC users can also get the contents if they are to visit : http://en.m.wikipedia.org/
This does help as a temporary solution and do support Wikipedia for the cause they are fighting for.
