The plugins may be even more useful: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/sopa
Good to see:) Also http://wordpress.org/ (different style with call to action).
Annoyingly, this also includes the codex and extensions gallery.
As far as I can tell, this is only the wordpress.com homepage (not the blogs they host) which is probably mostly unused.
Any WordPress.com site can protest by going to Settings → Protest SOPA/PIPA.

blacking out all the blogs they host (i.e. protesting against censorship by engaging in large-scale censorship) would be incredibly uncool and sure to do more harm than good.
I agree completely, but my point is that what they're doing is likely to have little effect -- who goes to wordpress.com?
At least some of the 35 million people that host blogs there. They also censored wordpress.org, which Quantcast says get 8 million monthly visits. All in all, the number of people that see the message will probably be in 7 digits.
If they would do that (which they won't, ever .. never) .. Well it'd be bloody awesome.
in theory great- but looks like this page would convert better
