DemocracyNow.org Wikipedia, the online encyclopedia and sixth most visited site in the world, will join websites like the content aggregator Reddit, to “go dark” on Wednesday in opposition to the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), and its companion bill, the Protect IP Act (PIPA), which are currently being debated in Congress. “What these bills propose are new powers for the government — and also for private actors — to create effectively blacklists of sites that allegedly are engaging in some form of online infringement and then force service providers to block access to those sites,” says Corynne McSherry, Intellectual Property Director at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. “What we would have is a situation where the government and private actors could censor the net.” Chief technology officials in the Obama administration have expressed concern about any “legislation that … undermines the dynamic, innovative global Internet.” But the bill's main backers, Hollywood movie studios and music publishers, want to stop the theft of their creative content and the bills have widespread bipartisan support. A vote on SOPA is on hold in the House now, as the Senate is still scheduled vote on PIPA next Tuesday.

The founders of the three largest online poker sites were indicted by the FBI on Friday in what could serve as a death blow to the thriving industry. Eleven executives at PokerStars, Full Tilt Poker and Absolute Poker were charged with bank fraud and money laundering in an indictment in a NY court. Prosecutors are seeking to immediately shut down the sites, eventually send the executives to jail and recover $3 billion from the companies. Two of the executives were arrested on Friday morning in Utah and Nevada. Federal agents are searching for the others. The online gambling industry has taken off over the last decade, drawing an estimated 15 million Americans to bet online. In 2006 Congress passed a law prohibiting online gambling. Most of the leading sites found ways to work around the law using foreign banks, but prosecutors allege that in doing so they broke the law.
