I was over counting cats, and ran across this little tidbit of information.

I’m not about to start a whole involved debate about Copyright in the Internet Age, becuase it’s almost teatime and I’m famished (although I expect the comments thread will probably turn into one, as is the way of such things) but as far as the blackout itself goes… well, it turns out it’s not as black as all that. It’s a javascript thingy, and if you browse in with JS disabled, the site’s all still there and working. It’s only blacked out for people who don’t know how the internet works.

Which, since the protest is aimed at people who don’t know how the internet works, is actually quite clever.

Since I cannot easily remember the last time I used Wiki, I hadn’t noticed the absence. But for those that do, there it is.
