SInce IGC website is not one much visited even by our members, the
strike should include activity on the IGC list....
(Though frankly, on principle, I believe that US's 'global' excesses of
the SOPA kind must be countered in more globally democratic ways than
just appealing to the global sensitivity of the US government, which
even if it does exist, and gets exercised in the present case, is merely
instrumental with regard to US interests.)
