Sites all over are going black to protest the SOPA and other internet censorship acts in congress. Maybe we should go black (I like the google style of going black) too!

I say go for it.
And add a "This is what would happen if SOPA and PIPA were passed." a screen later.

Then go to the index.

Have it appear once, though............



*SEVERAL Indie game sites are shutting themselves down!
VVVVVV
Minecraft
To name a few.


Imagine what would happen if Steam were to black themselves out!

I think it's a good plan as well. Something like sopa or pipa should never be passed. The constitution should be amended to give some sort of right to open, free, public internet. As much as pipa and sopa would be a bad thing, a privately owned, licensed internet would be just as bad in many ways.

The Oatmeal just went black... and it is hilarious. (http://theoatmeal.com/sopa)

EDIT: also, wikipedia has a simple and easy way to look up your representative's emails/phone numbers. All of mine had a web form that was quick and easy to fill out. :D

here it is. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:CongressLookup)
