Folks:
EFF and other concerned organizations are sponsoring an info web page on the SOPA / PIPA** legislation:
<http://sopacountdown.com/>
Along with that link the groups sent plug-ins and links to a plug-in for Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, etc. that make it very easy to take your site dark in solidarity with the January 18 (midnight to midnight EST) protest that is being undertaken by many prominent internet entities and organizations.
A few LUGs around the US are redirecting their traffic at for the period of the strike to:
<http://sopastrike.com/strike>
I would urge similar on behalf of LUGs and businesses that participate in the LUGs as a way of showing support against SOPA and PIPA legislation. Just my personal perspective and thoughts here.
