Yes - when we go to Google.com, it redirects us automatically to google.ca. That being said, we can click "go to google.com" and it usually shows the US version.

It looks like the server that provides the image uses an GeoIP lookup, and only if you're in the US will it display the blackened logo.

I'm in Canada, but only when I proxy through my US server do I see the sopa/google logo.
