SOPA Protest Today

It seems like quite a number of sites have joined in the SOPA protest.

Some interesting one’s that I’ve seen have been:

• Google
  Given their high profile, I was happy to see the logo was blacked out today in protest of SOPA.
• Ars Technica
  I like the way they blended a protest, with staying functional.  Personally I’d prefer to show the site “down” as in “black”, but they were creative with an inverse color scheme.
• Wired.com
  This is one of my favorites.  It looks much more like “censorship” than any other just black site.  SOPA is about both censorship, and the shutting down of innocent sites.

If you want to join in the protest against SOPA and PROTECT-IP (remember, they are BOTH problems, not just SOPA) you can check out instructions (it’s very easy):

• SOPA Blackout JS – My quick writeup on how to deploy the SOPA Blackout javascript utility
• SOPA PHP snippet – pop this in the header of your includes, and you can participate too
