Wikipedia black out coming for 24 hours

[Mira]

Wikipedia, the popular community-edited online encyclopedia, will black out its English-language site for 24 hours to seek support against proposed U.S. anti-piracy legislation that Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales said threatens the future of the Internet.
The service will be the highest profile name to join a growing campaign starting at midnight Eastern Time on Wednesday that will see it black out its page so that visitors will only see information about the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the Protect Intellectual Property Act (PIPA).

8. EXCELLENT response

5. Excellent idea!

Virtually nobody I speak to in real life is even aware of SOPA/PIPA, or understands how evil they are. This will get them to sit up and take notice.

6. Hmmm, guess I'll have to use Conservapedia to research my enemies then.

and you have to admit that it's easier to read through Conservapedia's much shortened version of the Bill of Rights

7. Is that still around? Geebus... I'd have thought Grandma would have run out of Cheetos

by now and made them shower and go to school.

[Justice wanted]

10. I support Wiki and all the sites doing this.

These two pieces would destroy the internet as we know it.

11. I hope they do it. It would be a wake up call.

I hope they all go dark for a day. Wikipedia, Google, Amazon et all. Even DU. People need to see the eventual results of SOPA.
I just hope nothing breaks tommorrow that would cause me to need information fast.
