SOPA/PIPA Blackouts

A Wikipedia screenshot

In case you haven't already noticed, Wikipedia and other online outlets have "blacked out" to protest the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) & PIPA (Protect IP Act). What are your thoughts on this?
Do you think it was effective?
Will Congress ever rewrite these bills to make them more neutral toward both content producers and consumers of internet knowledge?
Would the passing of these bills create a government that ultimately controlled us?
Diminished and eliminated all freedom of speech, nonetheless information?

That's just a small list of questions that come to my mind amidst the protest, now what do you think?
