If you try to visit Wikipedia tomorrow (January 18, 2012), you will get a black-out. They are not alone: Boing Boing, Reddit, Google and others in a NetCoalition are joining in a protest against the two bills pending in Congress currently against online piracy: SOPA (HR 3261) and PIPA (S968). Check their home pages for various forms of protest.
The NetCoalition.com website (not the .org one!) has a lot of useful information on the bills if you need to do research on this area.
Here is a nice thumbnail of the opposition to SOPA and PIPA, though you can find a LOT more out there on the net. Briefly, there is concern that the provisions are vague, allow far more over-reaching by copyright holders than the current DMCA, so that they could do take down notices to web providers, but with lots more power behind it. For instance, SOPA provides that if a web host does not immediately blacklist an accused poster on their service, the web host would then have to fight along with the poster. According to Google, more than 50% of the take-down notices it has received under the DMCA have been by businesses out to drive out competitors, rather than really about copyright issues. This is liable to be just as true in the future. Copyright take down notices are being used as an anti-competitive tool to prevent existing web businesses from having to compete against new start-ups who want to provide either a new service or better service.
Here is a terrific, detailed review of the SOPA bill by a copyright lawyer, Mona Ibrahim, and an update reviewing the amendments.

Shazam and SoundHound are two apps that have a high wow-factor the first time you use them. They are music discovery apps that automatically identify songs you want to know the name of. The apps record a few seconds of the music, and then create an acoustic fingerprint based on the sample, that is uploaded to a server and then compared against entries in a database to find a match.
VideoSurf is an application that has a similar concept, but it identifies people on TV, and actors in movies and series. Let’s say you’re chilling in your couch and you happen to see an actor that you can’t remember the name of. Simply launch VideoSurf, and point your camera at the screen, and the app will identify the person.
Verizon has announced that VideoSurf will be available for free on “select 4G smartphones”, but we don’t know much more than that at this point. It’s a shame if the app only will be available for Verizon customers in the U.S., so let’s hope it soon will be released in the Android Market as well.
From the developers:
“Use your smartphone to capture a few seconds of what you’re watching on TV and VideoSurf’s visual search technology will identify the clip and the actors, and suggest other videos to watch,” said Lior Delgo, CEO and co-founder of VideoSurf. “It’s like Shazam, but for video.”
