Is there a HN blackout against SOPA on the way?
- chrisacky 15y agoNo. People who use HN would be damaged by a blackout. You need to hit ordinary people, not those who already know how damaging the passing of SOPA would be.
- stonemetal 15y agoWhy would there be? Most if not all HNers already know about SOPA so there is no need to raise awareness.

- FredBrach 15y agoI'm realizing that you are totally right: a Hacker who isn't at least aware of SOPA is not a hacker =)
- pasbesoin 15y agoI could see this supporting it, in spirit. However, I think we need to keep some back channels open, and HN seems to be one good candidate for this. I would suggest, though, that a repurposing of the black bar at the top might be appropriate. We're facing the "death" of the spirit, and functionality, of what many luminaries have devoted significant portions of their careers towards creating and promoting.
