Am I the only one who counts these mock blackouts as a helluva good thing? I love seeing websites force it to users' attention, as it would be forced anyway if SOPA was passed because of apathy.
that is because you still use the english site, if you go to wikipedia.org you can choose a language and if you take any other than english it wont blackout
The fake blackout doesn't apply outside the U.S., but since these sites are U.S. based, SOPA and PIPA will easily affect anything Wikipedia and the like. Inform yourself, and make a presence of yourself about this Bill of Rights infringement.
English Wikipedia worked with a little trick: press refresh and then stop loading, the website would not black out. You had to repeat this on every new wikipedia page but it worked :) .
