Seattle-based I Can Has Cheezburger, the online humor and meme site run by Ben Huh, is planning to blackout all of its sites next Wednesday, January 18th, to protest the proposed Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Huh announced the blackout via Twitter on Thursday. I Can Has Cheezburger is joining a group of sites which have been organizing the blackout, to protest SOPA, which threatens to de-index sites who are accused of copyright violations, would force ISPs to block acccess to those sites, and more.
