On January 18th, websites across the internet
went on strike to protest the
Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) and the related
Protect IP Act (PIPA). Some sites were completely blocked; others added censorship graphics to their banners, and some posted about the strike. The point was to make all internet users aware of the bills before Congress and to encourage reader participation. A few sites went above and beyond the call of duty and made the strike itself entertaining. If you didn’t see them, I saved a few of the best. See them in
a list I posted at mental_floss.
