If you really need to access wikipedia

I fully support the protest against SOPA/PIPA but if you really need to access wikipedia you can disable the javascript in your browser

1. for CHROME preference->under the hood->Do not allow any site to run JavaScript 2. for SAFARI preference->security->uncheck Enable javascript 3. for FF preference->content->uncheck Enable javascript 4. for IE I didn't care enough to check it:p

Even easier — here’s a userscript that removes the SOPA overlay on English Wikipedia: https://gist.github.com/1631807

Even more Easier - press esc (or the stop button) when you first see the page(before the overlay loads)
