I blacked out one of the oldest site online today in protest of SOPA

If you visited our company site Altavoz.com today from 8am-8pm we blacked it out and if you knew the effort that I have expended to keep it online since May of 1995 and what this company does~  you would know that this is not just a symbolic act.
