I think you imagine the blackout was the only thing that mattered in turning this legislation around. I can see why you might think that, but it is incorrect. Effective strategies for political change are implemented on many levels, and, in my view, it is naive to suppose that mere protest, standing alone, is enough. I'm old enough to remember 1968, when countless individuals took to the streets all over the world. It was exciting, but it was also followed by decades of repressive governmental action that disillusioned many of the most hopeful and idealistic. To learn from 1968, you can't indulge the notion that mere mass protest is enough. Certainly there are plenty of people who remember Tienanmen Square who'll tell you the same thing.
In this case, what do you think of Avaaz.org?
