Wikipedia went dark on January 18, 2012. So did thousands of other
websites, including search giant Google, all to protest a controversial
copyright bill called the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). The protest
even helped to ignite mass demonstrations on the streets of over 250
cities in all 27 countries of the European Union to stop a similar
attempt to regulate the Internet under the Anti-Counterfeiting Trade
Agreement (ACTA). This book provides a gripping, behind-the-scenes look
at how people organized the largest Internet protest in history, plus
the largest single-day demonstration on the streets of 27 countries of
the European Union. This grassroots movement involving millions of
people won an unexpected, but historic first victory in the fight for a
"free and open Internet."
