Internet Black out
With companies like Wikipedia, Reddit planning an internet black out for 12-24hours tomorrow, is there a possibility that many sites may be going offline tomorrow?

I fully support Wikipedia and others in their stand.
"In a nutshell, if enacted the bills would extend the powers of US law enforcement agencies and copyright holders over copyrighted material sold or distributed online.
Under the legislation, copyright holders would be able to launch legal action against websites which had facilitated the unauthorised distribution of their material. A court order could then freeze the website’s accounts, ban search engines from linking to it, and bar its advertisers from continuing to advertise on the site.
Unauthorised commercial streaming would also become a criminal offence."

SO for example - if you were to share a youtube clipping here of someone it would lead to action being taken on QL,
can you tell us how?
that will affect websites anywhere in the world, isnt it?
Why should they? SOPA is sanctioned by the US congress.
is QL also planning for the same?
Everything is possible. What a question.
