Poetic, but trust me it wouldn't work. All it would do is push 90% of the country to back the government more. The average Joe already fears the amount of control computers systems have over his life. Both parties would play that fear like a piano.
It's one thing to strike when you are the "poor downtrodden factory worker", it's entirely another thing when you are a bunch of "rich white collar smarties trying to control the world".

By "educated", I'm not inferring that that "un-educated" people are stupid or ignorant, simply un-aware of the issue by virtue of not being part of "that world". I would hazard a guess that people with a passion for Wikipedia are probably the kind of people who already know what SOPA is and why it's a batshit crazy idea.
