Agreed. I'm all for raising awareness, but many of the articles surfacing here over the past few weeks have been SOPA related and taking down the whole site to put up one message may actually reduce the amount of SOPA/PIPA-related information people are reading.

For reference, all SOPA related articles on HN: http://www.hnsearch.com/search#request/all&q=SOPA

Maybe instead of "going dark" that should be what the homepage redirects to for that day. That way it raises awareness and provides reading material.

I think it is safe to assume that everyone on HN is fully aware of SOPA by now.

Not about the other anti-Internet attempts. I hope that the Internet Freedom message is displayed broadly alongside support for the SOPA protest movement.
