Please Join The Largest Ever World Wide Online Protest Ever!

[mygaybuffet]

January 18th, 2012, will be the largest internet protest in history. Thousands of sites across the internet, including some of the biggest in the world, will be blacking out and directing people to contact Congress to kill the web censorship bill, SOPA and PIPA. We want to get you involved.

Join us on the historic day by blacking out your site. Copy the code below and paste it into the header of your theme (Wordpress users: use the SOPA Strike plugin) to black your site out in protest of SOPA/PIPA. It will activate automatically on Jan. 18th, displaying this page and directing visitors to contact Congress, and will deactivate at the end of the day.

<script type="text/javascript">var a=new Date,b=a.getHours()+a.getTimezoneOffset()/60;if(18==a.getDate()&&0==a.getMonth()&&2012==a.getFullYear()&&13<=b&&24>=b)window.location="http://sopastrike.com/strike";</script>

In just 7 days, the Senate will vote on forever altering the free and open internet by instituting a new regime of extra-judicial, corporate-led website takedowns. This is a fundamental fight about who has power in society -- the people with the means to communicate freely or the governments and corporations that feel threatened.

For the full state of play on the censorship bills, take a look at this infographic we've put together. Click here. The clock is ticking, and we're still 35 senators short of the number we need to kill the bill.

If you're on Facebook or Twitter, please spread the word about the protest.

Thank You!

...isn't it already dead?

On the news tonight, there was a Senator who didn't think it would make it to the floor for a vote. And the President has said he will veto it.

Theme? Is this a Tumblr thing?

Cause at the moment, that's the only website (well, more like Tumblr theme that only I use) I made that I actually have full control over.

Yes. If you have your own website just copy and paste the script anywhere inside the body in your html code.

Didn't the president already kill that?

Ok, will do.

But I'm into the good web design practices thing, so the Javascript is the last piece of code in the body.

Wikipedia is already live with it. It's easily bypassed.

Google has a black-bar over its logo - functionality not compromised.

*yawn*

I've already messaged my representatives in the federal government with very strong-worded letters.

I would but I don't have a website

It's the thought that counts!

 

[MTLDude]

Since I am not very good at html coding, I fear that if Black out my blog, I won't be able to get it back inline, so I posted the "internet on strike" image instead. I know it is not as punching, but it is the best I can do with my limited abilities!

And I put my avatar black on Facebook...

I want piracy to be stopped, and I'm in favor of legislation that brings piracy under control.

 

[diamondstar]

Am strongly against things like movies and music being pirated before the creator(s) is ready to release them. However, I want and demand my wikipedia back.

Too bad I didn't see this post yesterday ... or yep I woulda done it.

I'm European, I don't give a shit about your drama. Stop blackening out your website and plaster banners everywhere, it's more annoying than the copyright law that will come

 

[72-Jay]

...and there's nothing saying European governments won't try to pass something similar at some point.

 

[goldenmoth]

It's the thought that counts!

Thanks, you better believe I'm giving it a lot of thought! It's of a great concern to me. Even as a (future) European I know that blacking out the internet will have a huge effect on me wherever I am.

Also, it gives people with way too much power even more power. It's institutionalised mafia really.
