MC: It was my understanding that the point of the blackout was to demonstrate what the Internet would look like under SOPA. Key sites that would probably be shut down completely under SOPA obviously are against SOPA and used this as a way to show the effects. In reality, far more sites would be rendered useless under SOPA than those participating.
I can only imagine how many "chiefs of staff" were getting chewed out by their members yesterday, thinking SOPA was a below-the-radar easy sign-off, limited opposition bill.
