Most people haven't tried a different search engine in years. Many have never tried anything other than google.
Google doesn't want that to change.

Bing is number two. If google did that everyone would try Bing and they would lose market share.

I stopped using Google because their god damn auto complete instant thingy irritates the living shit out of me.
No, I really DON'T mean whatever the hell it is you think I'm looking for. I mean what I was actually typing..until your stupid site decided to "save me time" by finding something I wasn't looking for instead.

Apparently you haven't been anywhere on the net today.
There aren't any 404 errors occurring. There's a lot of press being given to the issue - some sites are completely down, others are just advertising anti-sopa ads.

You arent this dense Tali.
Wiki shut down completely, Craigslist as well.
I was discussing the ramifications if Google had done the same.

So far, every site I'm aware of that is 'down' is privately owned.
All the publicly owned sites are showing sympathy with the cause as best they can without interrupting service (and angering stockholders.)
It's not so much an ideology thing as it is a business thing. Those that own their sites can do what they want them. Those who don't are restricted. But all are showing support in one way or another.
