Popular building game, Minecraft, has joined in on the SOPA/PIPA protest. Currently, if you visit the site you’ll see the image above with the following message:
“We are joining the Internet-wide protest against SOPA/PIPA today on JAN 18th by shutting down our websites.”
Oddly enough Minecraft.net chose the color red for their “black” out. You’ll also notice the title of the site has been modified to say “Site Down”.
Below are what some Twitter users are saying about Minecraft’s SOPA/PIPA protest:
