I would say TWIT should have a black bar going across it's TWIT icon and still air to protest against as well as express the wrongs of SOPA. The vast majority of users on this thing we call the internet should do the same. Right now, I'm in the agreement, we need to express to those "boneheads in congress," and that's both sides of the isle, that this "SOPA Thing" is wrong, and does NOT do anything new that current laws take care of and already do. SOPA is the equivalent of stifling all internet users in broadening their knowledge base and range of access that knowledge.
Stay on the air TWIT, wear a Black Bar, talk of the wrongs of SOPA and how it does not, and I repeat does not help anyone on this thing we call the internet. It Is A Dumb Law!!!
When the Open Rights Group held a protest about the Digital Economy Act ( our SOPA ) opposite the House of Commons they protested by having blank boards and duct tape over their mouths. The net ( hah ) result was no one really knew what they were trying to communicate. The sites going Black on the 18th will be saying why they are doing it. In your media going black means you say nothing and no one understands why. I say you should have a TWIT fund raising day to help raise funds to fight SOPA. Make it a day of shouting from the rooftops that you "arent going to take this anymore "
I've been a long time fan of your Leo. I think education is the best key. It worked with the RIAA back on Screen Savers and I believe it can work again. I myself have be a victim of Internet Piracy just recently with in the last 3 years & it was perpetrated not by not well known source but by a large company "Google". Everyone that has used or is using Google+ is using my work. I can get in to a lot of detail about that but that could take away from the point of this post. If that is something you would like to know more on you can contact me here dwmolyneux01 on Facebook about it.
Educate people and the idea of the black bar(s) is a good idea.

Go black background but keep the signal. Wear combat make-up on screen. Try to contact the SOPA perps on air.

Silence helps no one. Speak up. Speak out. Educate.
