It's dark out there

To heighten awareness of the 'Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA)' bill going through Congress, Wikipedia has gone 'dark' for 24 hours.

Where might I find information about the actual bill? We have access to Westlaw (Campus Research). WestLaw is used by the Business Law classes for legal information.
A search for SOPA in Westlaw (Campus Research) using the law tab pulled up 47 references. All dealt with 'Schedule of proposed actions (SOPA).' It occurred to me, the SOPA we're looking for isn't a law yet, so that search was futile.

A search, limited to the past 30 days, using the News & Business tab, for SOPA pulled 460 articles. I was intrigued by the number of foreign press articles on this topic. I went back to limit my search. There is a check box for 'Identify duplicate documents'. That action narrowed the results list to 79 items. All of which were news articles.

Where can I find the bill? A search with Google (where the logo is blacked out in protest) gave me clues about the bill number, HR 3261. A search for HR 3261 pulled up The Library of Congress - Thomas site where I found the bill in its entirety :Bill Text 112th Congress (2011-2012)H.R.3261.IH Stop Online Piracy Act.

Please do wade through the bill. Please do contact your Senators and Representatives to share your feelings on this piece of legislation. The more voters voices they hear, the more informed the elected officials will be about this topic.
