Google has given the movement a hat-tip as well, in the form of a doodle:

Reddit's also involved in the blackout.

It's interesting to see the RIAA and even Rupert Murdoch's comments on this. Best quote from it..

"Why is it that when Republicans and Democrats need to solve the budget and the deficit, there's deadlock, but when Hollywood lobbyists pay them $94 million dollars to write legislation, people from both sides of the aisle line up to co-sponsor it?"

If facebook OR google had participated, even partially, in the blackout, it would have made huge waves. Instead, google posted a logo, and facebook ignored it. I still think a 5-second wait with a message for clicking something would have been enough for those two sites.
