I guess that I assumed that they were talking about putting up a permanent black bar at the top of their pages with information about SOPA and their reasons for opposing it. I hadn't seriously considered that anyone would take down their entire site. If organizers are hoping that a large site will completely go offline, I think they are nuts.
This is one of the problems with a very decentralized anti-SOPA movement - there is no organization. I think that's why people are just hoping for a Google to take the lead.
- Natsu 15y agoGoogle, at least, could just do one of their doodles. That wouldn't be quite like shutting down for a day, but it's something they've done before and those doodles have gotten a lot of attention in the past. I wonder what creative ways they could find to inform the public about SOPA in the next week or so? What's the best anti-SOPA argument any of you have seen?

- dlss 15y agoI assumed they were talking about something akin to wikipedia shutting down for all of italy for a day.
