I’m guessing blacking out your blog on tumblr in protest of SOPA is probably about as effective as announcing your bra color for breast cancer awareness on facebook.

This made me smile.

As we say in Swedish: Många bäckar små, blir till en stor å. Rough translation (without the rhyme): Many small brooks will form a big river. So, maybe I blacked out my Tumblr and maybe someone clicked the links and read up on SOPA and then they called their congressman/congresswoman… so forth and so on.

So far we’ve already had one of the PIPA bill co-sponsors withdraw. I would say that the campaign has been quite successful so far.
