Ive heard about this everywhere on the net, so i just googled an article about it. I have also heard that many other sites, and game developers, are planning to go dark on Wednesday. Just posting this as a heads up really, but what do you guys think about this?

Just a disclaimer, while i do like that websites are doing this, i am not trying to suggest that TKC partake in this, there isnt much to accomplish there.

Wikipedia will be blacked out in 9 hours.
Google is joining the protest, but will not be blacking out. they will be putting links on the home page to make people more aware of SOPA and PIPA

If google blacked out, society itself would collapse.

That's the exact point they want to make.

Even Minecraft servers are confirmed for the blackout tomorrow.

EDIT

Wikipedia is down (the English version). Minecraft.net is down as well. Google looks like this. I laughed pretty hard:

also guys, if you own web domains on Godaddy, you might want to change, since they support SOPA. In fact, thousands of domain names have been transferred already.
