"Blank Screen Weekend" in Beijing

Volunteer teams roamed Beijing neighbourhoods this weekend, warning people to switch off their PCs or pay a "fine" as part of the NC63 (no computers for 63 hours). Some 20 websites reportedly supported the campaign, although the original front page Beijing Morning Post story didn't name any of them.

A coincidence, surely, that it's a print daily leading the charge against the web.
