Websites Confirmed for the Jan 18 Blackout Protesting SOPA
For those keeping up with tech news, the internet is gearing up for a fight. Beginning with Reddit.com, serveral sites have pledged to go dark on January 18 in protest of SOPA and PIPA, the internet blacklist legislation currently making there way through Congress.
@thoughtpuzzle has created a Google Custom Search that removes all search results from sites going dark on Wednesday:
Below is a list of confirmed sites joining in:
Major update: Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales just confirmed that Wikipedia is joining in on Blackout Day!

What can you do to show your support?
Facebook users are also urged to protest by joining the “Stop Internet Censorship by Protesting SOPA event” and posting censored photo galleries to their Facebook walls on the 18th.
WordPress users wanting to join in the protest might find the SOPA Blackout plugin, which adds a temporary 503 status and customisable page to your site automatically. Blogspot users can easily show their support, too.
This list will be updated as I find out about more participating websites. If anyone has news of other sites joining in the protest, let me know (please include your source) so I can add them to the list.
oliverobroadcastinggroup.com and bhrhosting.com we are going for blackout

Love how much this list is growing!

Can internet users join in, in the blackout? Would that help to get the attention of major advertisers? Just a thought…
Hi, my name is ken, i am the owner of Tech Humanity Forums. I will join the website blackout protest. My website is http://www.techhumanity.com, please include me in the list. Contact me through my email.

I just added the SOPA Blackout plugin to my photography business’ website and blog, both powered by WordPress. I will be blacking out these sites on January 18th, as well as the 23rd and 24th. As such, my small business may be affected by this blackout, but stopping censorship of the internet is a good cause. Even though my business is Canadian owned and operated, I have clients in the US, and it would be a major blow to my business if my sites ended up being blocked. I own the exclusive copyright to all my content, but who knows what the US government might consider piracy. We need to put an end to this bill NOW!
SuperSeedbox.co.uk will be going dark in support.
Add RootzWiki to that list. Us staff have been discussing it, and the admins have agreed that we’ll be joining the blackout.
According to their Facebook page, regretsy.com will be dark as well.
YourDegree.com will also be going dark to protest SOPA/PIPA
I’ll be joining as well, but I’ll shut down the night before; I don’t get up at 8am :))
the following site is joining u guys http://www.whattimein.com
Sorry, http://Loganmifflin.com I meant to say is joining.
http://www.nimbusters.org/
http://subgurls.com/
will be closed for 12 hrs
RevitCity.com is joining the fight and will be blacked out.
http://www.eclipse-guild.com will go down as well
MobileExpressDjs.com will be dark
My online gaming discussion forum will be blacked out on the 18th
GirlGamer.com and Ani.Me will also go black.
I’m a freelance writer. I have several joining the blackout.
My website and two personal blogs will be down:
http://www.joharrington.co.uk/
http://joharrington.blogspot.com/
http://thelibraryofjo.blogspot.com/
The owner of Wizzley has agreed to make my profile inactive:
http://wizzley.com/authors/JoHarrington/?pr=1976
The owners of Suite101 can’t temporarily take me off, so I’ll just be removing my profile information and inserting a black picture instead. That was their suggestion to get around it:
http://joharrington.suite101.com/
And my Runescape blog will be set to private, with the header altered to show it’s a SOPA protest:
http://runescape.salmoneus.net/forums/blog/merch_gwyar/index.php?
That’s all of my bases!
Council of Elrond will be going dark on the 18th: http://www.councilofelrond.com
My site may not be popular but I have a pre-made kit I got from anon to have my site displaying things on why SOPA and PIPA are bad, I can confirm that my site “3WORLD!” will be joining this protest and will inaccessible from any other pages expect the banner and anti-SOPA info.
