SOPA Blackout

In protest of SOPA, a few sites are doing blackouts, Wikipedia and Equestria Daily are just a few, I think its a great way to protest SOPA and PIPA

Yeah, I noticed that a few hours back. It's a good way to show how barren the internet might become with the implementation of those motions.

It would be nice if facebook and google shut down for a day in protest too. (even though I can barely function without google)

Oh, and I noticed if you disable javascript you can still use wikipedia. (another site I use constantly)

Yeah, they were using a pretty simple javascript there to redirect to their blackout page. window.onLoad() I think, so if you cancel the loading of the page before everything is done, you can still read the articles.

Or you can disable javascript.
