POLL: Do You Support Internet Bills SOPA or PIPA?

More than 4.5 million people signed an online petition Wednesday against the two bills that seek to regulate the Internet.

Wednesday was a massive day of protest on the Internet, as millions spoke up against the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Protect I.P. Act (PIPA) in the Senate, and major sites like Wikipedia went dark for the day.

According to a Los Angeles Times post, approximately 8 million people took Wikipedia's suggestion to look up their congressional and senate representatives, and more than 4.5 million people signed an online poll against the two bills by 1:30 p.m. PST.
