This will redirect any request, to your protest site of choice on Jan 18th, between 08:00 and 20:00 (local webserver time). Assuming Apache of course!So maybe:
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://americancensorship.org/ [L]If it's war, then we ought to develop some kind of offensive strategy.
It's time to get pro-active rather than re-active every time they come out with a new bill. Let's change their laws before they change ours.
SOPA advocates are taking the war to the legislative process since they're losing elsewhere. Let's answer by raising the political stakes: organize instant protests, flashmob their buildings, name and vocally shame the supporters.
We want more cities to come on board. Can you help?
An all-black theme would do the trick, but redirecting using Temporary Redirect shouldn't screw up search if we do it right.
So in my experience Google is remarkably forgiving.
