qui sotto la mail, se puo' interessare, PP-Int, per
/materiale/idee/impronte/:

TL;DR: Who would opt for a blackout strike on 18th of January against
SOPA? or should it be later? see http://sopastrike.com/ for details

extended version:
You may should be all aware about the SOPA bill in the US that is
scheduled to be voted on 24th of January
http://americancensorship.org/
http://www.pp-international.net/node/510

SOPA is not only bad for US citizens, but for everyone *WORLDWIDE* for
at least 3 reasons
1) The US is the leading force behind the "war on piracy" and
extending the boundaries of copyright worldwide. We have clear
evidence with ACTA[1], in Sweden [2] and in Spain [3]. There are
likely more examples.
2) The US has currently still (directly or indirectly) a relatively
high level of control over crucial Internet infrastructure; with SOPA
they intend to exert worldwide control over generic TLDs such as .net
.com etc.
3) It's a direct attack against free speech worldwide; it's a terrible
sign for a country where free speech has been held once so high

On reddit a strike has been announced for 18th of January
http://sopastrike.com/
Similar suggestions have been made previously by a lose conglomerate
with Google, Wikipedia and other giants [4]; however it's not clear
whether they agreed on a certain date. Some sources have suggested
that they may arrange a blackout strike for the day before the vote
(i.e. 23th of January)

e' stato aperto pure un pad per un comunicato press (es. da mettere sui
siti in black?)

It's clear that the action is intended to raise awareness among users;
that means
1) to make sure that media picks it up
2) to make sure that the petition links are getting shared

If you're willing to work on a common press release, I opened a
publicly available pad here
