[liberationtech] The Day Wikipedia Went Dark

[David Johnson]

Happy SOPA anniversary!

Ed Lee remembers the Wikipedia blackout and looks at the current state of
SOPA-light bills.  Among other points, he argues that the protests were an
instance of "popular constitutionalism"—i.e. of the people, rather than
representatives or courts, determining the content and scope of
constitutional rights.
