I'm glad to hear it, and hope it is massive and successful, but… I wonder if the SOPA blackout was more effective than this will be just because many (but not all) of those sites actually shut down for the day, completely blacking out everything. That gets people's attention way more than just displaying a popup banner. I found myself wishing the big sites would have joined in at that level. It would make a huge statement if Google shut off all their services for a day in protest. It would cause some inconvenience to people, but I would gladly accept that for the statement it made.
