SOPA is pretty serious stuff. I don't think that a simple (but highly noticeable) change like the background color or pop-ups as suggested above and below would work. A complete shutdown is what is necessary. Change the main page to a notice about the bill, with links to more information and perhaps a listing of congressman or something. Shut down >all other services. If a site like Google did this, it would be very noticeable. No email. No transactions. No searches.
Speaking of Google, if they changed all of their ads to a SOPA notice, that would be pretty noticeable and would cover a vast section of the internet. Too bad nobody really notices ads.
