Must be geotargeted as the google.com logo for searches in Canada aren't black.

It does say "Tell Congress: Please don't censor the web!"

A Google representative said "So tomorrow we will be joining many other tech companies to highlight this issue on our U.S. home page." (from the article)

So only the US google home page will be affected.

Yes - when we go to Google.com, it redirects us automatically to google.ca. That being said, we can click "go to google.com" and it usually shows the US version.

It looks like the server that provides the image uses an GeoIP lookup, and only if you're in the US will it display the blackened logo.

I'm in Canada, but only when I proxy through my US server do I see the sopa/google logo.
