Save the internet
“Right now, the US Congress is debating a law that would give them the power to censor the world’s Internet creating a blacklist that could target YouTube, WikiLeaks and even…
…
And, because so much of the Internet’s hosts and hardware are located in the US, their blacklist would clamp down on the free web for all of us.”

Re: Save the internet
I’ve created a simple plugin to implement sopablackout.org’s blackout script.
Install, activate, add <txp:msd_sopablackout/> to the head of your page.
Simple way to show your visitors how you feel about SOPA.

Hey Matt,
Thanks, we will be using it in the next blackout, possibly on the 24th when the voting will happen

I felt bad that my WP sites had fancy banners and my TxP sites didn’t. Next time I won’t have that problem.

I’ll have to add the ability to set the date for it to be active. Stay tuned.

pure kewlness :) I nevertheless hope that the bill will fail. I heart in the news today that 2 republican senators who originally supported the bill are now against it following yesterday’s blackout.
