I disagree, I think this was a very appropriate move for Google. Consider that Google has shareholders to answer to (they can't just take a community vote, like Wikipedia). I'm actually thoroughly thrilled with what they did, when I visited the main search page the blacked out Google logo was actually psychologically shocking for me, enough to make me click it to find out why (that black box acts like a visual sink attracting me). Think of the crazy amount of people that hit that main search page. This plus Wikipedia's complete blackout will seriously make some movement.
