Tomorrow, January 18, 2012, internet enthousiasts from near and far will be protesting in the name of "Stop SOPA" by "Going Dark" for the duration of the day.

SOPA, the Stop Online Piracy Act, is a proposed bill that, if passed, could lead to mass internet censorship.

The websites that will Go Dark tomorrow include both small and large.  From small Tumblrs to giants, like Wikipedia and Reddit, supporters from around the country will be dark in the  name of stopping SOPA. Although it will not be going dark, Google will also show support for the cause on their homepage.

Protesting websites will go dark tomorrow and only show the above image to it's visitors. Visitors will not be able to access any content of the participating website until after the protest. This protest shows a worst case scenario of what SOPA could do. Warning that if link heavy websites, such as Wikipedia, were to be shut down under SOPA the now millions of broken links would compromise the ability of any site that includes outside links to carry on current operations.

If you would like your website to Go Dark in protest tomorrow, you can pick up the Stop SOPA code here and apply it to your site.
