"Blackout Day" Usai, Wikipedia "Belum Selesai"

Kompas.com - 19/01/2012, 13:34 WIB

KOMPAS.com - Wikipedia Bahasa Inggris dan banyak situs lain memprotes Rancangan Undang-Undang bernama Stop Online Piracy Act dan Protect Intellectual Property Act (SOPA dan PIPA). Protes digelar selama 24 jam dengan bentuk "menggelapkan" situs.

Setelah periode itu selesai, Wikipedia kembali bisa diakses dengan normal. Sebuah pesan pun dituliskan pengelola Wikipedia bagi para penggunanya.

Thank you.

The Wikipedia blackout is over — and you have spoken.

More than 162 million people saw our message asking if you could imagine a world without free knowledge. You said no. You shut down Congress’s switchboards. You melted their servers. From all around the world your messages dominated social media and the news. Millions of people have spoken in defense of a free and open Internet.

For us, this is not about money. It’s about knowledge. As a community of authors, editors, photographers, and programmers, we invite everyone to share and build upon our work.

Our mission is to empower and engage people to document the sum of all human knowledge, and to make it available to all humanity, in perpetuity. We care passionately about the rights of authors, because we are authors.

SOPA and PIPA are not dead: they are waiting in the shadows. What’s happened in the last 24 hours, though, is extraordinary. The internet has enabled creativity, knowledge, and innovation to shine, and as Wikipedia went dark, you've directed your energy to protecting it.

We’re turning the lights back on. Help us keep them shining brightly.

Di Indonesia, efek SOPA dan PIPA mungkin belum terlalu terlihat. Namun satu pesan besar yang ingin diangkat dari aksi protes ini adalah menjaga kemerdekaan berinternet.

Bagaimana menurut Anda, berhasilkah kampanye "Blackout Day" ini?
