Holy shit, Internet Blackout!!?? by Ice Cream Jonsey 01/17/2012, 9:54am PST
http://www.pcworld.com/article/248274/wikipedia_other_sites_to_protest_antipiracy_bills_with_blackouts.html

So, it looks like Wikipedia is going to go down tomorrow. I thought they were just making the background black, but no, Wales is taking the site down.

For a bill that was already defeated. At least Wales is not pretending his shitty site is anything more than a frivolous and unnecessary sperger's ball crawl, instead of "The Sum of All Human Knowledge."

the article wrote:

Other popular sites planning blackouts lasting between 12 and 24 hours include BoingBoing, video game news and review site Destuctroid.com, Red 5 Studios' online shooter Firefall, Reddit, Tucows Inc's Downloads site, xda-developers, and all sites owned by Cheezburger Inc., including I Can Has Cheezburger, Fail Blog, and Know Your Meme.


Kind of says it all. I haven't looked for Schumin's take on it yet, but I bet it's really thought-provoking.

Oh, also:
