Hi All, 

Firstly, apologies, I am resending an email I have sent to the swig mailing 
list. 

Following on from the news that the English Wikipedia is going dark in 
opposition to the SOPA/PIPA tomorrow (2012-01-18) given the activity in the US 
[1], I wonder whether we as the Semantic Web Community feel like we should turn 
around and turn off dbpedia? What do people think? Wouldn't that be a nice show 
of support to Wikipedia, dbpedia's parent project, I think so ...

Obviously dbpedia doesn't have nearly as many users as Wikipedia, but 
personally I feel it would be a nice show of support, to what is a massive move 
from wikipedia. Poor students, what will they do tomorrow! 

Thoughts people?

Mischa
