I think that there need to be better legal ways to protest on the Internet.

You cannot fight censorship with censorship (DDOS). The web banners and backgrounds from the mid 90's are a better way, but they've fallen out of practice. This banner (which I found on very capitalist ritholtz.com) shows support for the OWS movement and is easy to integrate with a website without significant design changes.

Regardless of your politics, this is the right way to protest online.

These little banners are a far cry from actually ungluing your ass from the chair and going to an Occupy protest, but my hope is that they will help get even more people involved. If you do place a banner on your site, thank you. Please don’t stop there. Stand up – literally – for what you believe in.
