In support of efforts to stop SOPA [Stop Online Piracy Act], we have “gone dark” the way LA’s early TV stations went dark - with a test pattern. If SOPA passes, we would all have less Los Angeles history content to share. For more info, read The New York Times article about those high-profile organizations “going dark” and see the Guardian’s 2-minute animated description of the implications SOPA. Also, learn more about this W6XYZ Hollywood test pattern by visiting the Early Television Museum.
