I thought it was wrong of Wikipedia to blackout, and I said so on the appropriate talk pages. I sure hope Wikia doesn't do that to any of its sites.... although if some of the individual projects want to do something like that I think it is up to the community members of those wikis to decide for themselves.

I do believe the message is getting through to a number of people, where most of the candidates I've talked to are strongly opposed to SOPA and related legislation. If anything, I think that is far more effective than a simple "letter to your congressman", as letting them know you are openly endorsing and supporting their opposition on this specific issue and that you want to see them removed from office will do a whole lot more than simply complaining.
