Notch Joins January 18 Anti-SOPA Protest

January 13, 2012 by Ian Miles Cheong

Notch joins anti-SOPA protest on January 18.

Markus "Notch" Persson, better known as the creator of Minecraft, has voiced his company's desire to join the anti-SOPA protests organized by Reddit on January 18.

Notch says that the team is trying to figure out a way to join the protests that's "more fun than not letting anyone play" Minecraft.

We'll be celebrating the Jan 18 SOPA Protests somehow. Working on figuring out a method that's more fun than not letting anyone play.

— Markus Persson (@notch) January 13, 2012

We'll just have to wait and see what he comes up with.

Update: Notch has posted an update on his Twitter account stating that Mojang will be disabling their websites on the 18th, with no fanfare.

Decided. We’ll silently take down minecraft.net and mojang.com on the 18th in protest of SOPA.
