GTB will "blackout" tomorrow as well

Sure, this isn't the biggest site in the world, but I'll be joining in tomorrow's protest of SOPA and PIPA. The site will be "blacked out" quite literally. Black background with black text. The blackout will begin tonight, and go into tomorrow.

I encourage everyone to boycott these two oppressive bills tomorrow, in any way that you can. If you can't find a public way of protesting, perhaps giving all the greedy SOPA supporters an annoying robo call tomorrow. Let our senators know that campaign contributions from greedy corporations won't allow them to get elected after destroying fundamental American rights.

Wikipedia Will Go Offline in Protest of SOPA

Tomorrow, Wikipedia will go completely offline in protest of SOPA and PIPA, as will Reddit. These two similar acts try to prevent piracy, by making it a serious offense on the level of assault or breaking and entering, as well as censor the internet. Instead of the online encyclopedia you know and love, tomorrow you'll see a page that looks like the image above
.
Google will be joining in the protest as well, although unfortunately, without the same level of dedication. Google will post a banner advertising the affects of SOPA and PIPA. Seeing as there hasn't been a huge outcry over these bills, perhaps a little education into the matter would be very beneficial for Americans, as well as detrimental to the senators' agendas (and wallets).
