SOPA blackout day
is a dark day — literally. With a black bar across Google’s logo and
other sites turning their robust user-driven sites into a single black
page. One team, though, avoided donning black, and chose instead to sing
out its angst with this viral video “The Day the LolCats Died.”
They can take our lives, but they can’t take our LOLcats! That’s the
message from Seattle Against SOPA, which sings the potential effects of
SOPA set to the tune of Don McLean’s “American Pie.”
Seattle Against SOPA isn’t the first to spread awareness of the bill
through song. Last month, Leah Kaufman (who created “I Got a Crush on
Obama”) and British rapper Dan Bull wrote songs about SOPA, firewalls,
and Internet freedom. Watch here.
