I had thought that Annonymous was an organisation against the church of Scientology since when does they attack things about copyrights?

Anonymous never attacks with a clear reason, Anonymous "does it for the lulz", to have fun, and all other goals are secondary and in no way imperative. Project Chanology was a light derail when too many new Anons(aka Newfags) took the Scientology stuff too serious and ran rampant with it forgetting said "lulz".

-DISCLAIMER-
WITH THE WORD "NEWFAG", WHICH IS USED BY ANONS TO DESCRIBE NEW ANONS WHO NEED TO LURK MORE, I.E. TO SPEND MORE TIME READING THAN POSTING, I DO NOT INTENT TO ATTACK OR OFFEND ANY GAY PEOPLE OR THE GAY COMMUNITY IN ANY WAY. THIS IS USED FOR INFORMATIVE PURPOSES ONLY

Well I don't particularly support what they're fighting for, but to their credit, at least Anonymous gets shit done. How many other protest groups can say the same?

I dunno, the NAZIS!

(Godwin's Law, lol)

I wonder if they realize the irony of their Guy Fawkes mascot. Maybe they don't realize that it represents the opposite of what they are trying to accomplish

And similarly you don't realize modern interpretations.

They believe that Guy Fawkes tried to cause Anarchy and disruption in Parliament, when in reality he was trying to set forth an even more tyrannical form of government.

What do I not realize about the modern interpretation? They believe their little Mascot represents anarchy, when in reality he represents iron clad shitty government. I do believe I understand what it means better than them.

 

[MadCapMunchkin]

Cyber-terrorism? I say nay, and I only support them because it's a kick in the balls to the U.S. Government and to the RIAA, both who deserve far worse than that.

 

[PxDn Ninja]

Yeah! Let's fight for the right to steal other people's stuff! In other news, good job taking down a website I doubt many people even use.

Oh why do I bother? Just run along, strap on your padded helmets and go play anarchist.

Technically they are working together as a group, so they aren't being anarchist. They want everyone to have access to everything, and thus equalize the data. This seems parallel to certain political and social systems....

Nazis?

I don't give credit to people who things to far, Especially those who hide behind a internet persona and a few proxies.

 

[CoverYourHead]

Are they aware that DDoS attacks are a federal crime? Do they know that they just attacked the government? I have a strong feeling some arrests are going to be made.

Hell, I hope they do. The self-entitled 4chan pricks really get on my nerves.

Think you screwed up your quoting there.

My point is we should support Anonymous because they are right, not because of their might.

Flexing their muscles doesn't prove anything, they need to win the argument, not the battle.

 

[Last Valiance]

The internet is the only place where true freedom of speech exists any more.

(and now I'll be banned just for the ironic value)

Again i point you to this article released today on the BBC.

This. And Anonymous aren't a group to be afraid of, it's the people from /b/ that don't want to join Anonymous to show off their e-peens that are the problem.

 

[The Seldom Seen Kid]

For fuck's sake.

Grow up.

 

[Tdc2182]

So do you mean to imply that the holiday based on the guy is because the people are pro-theocracy?

It wouldn't be the first time society completely missed the point of something.

 

[Sinclair Solutions]

These guys are starting to get terrifying. I mean, first they were a joke, then I was weary of them, and then there is this. I mean, this...whatever it is, is absolutely insane.

 

[The Seldom Seen Kid]

Anon:

The people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances, we guard you while you sleep. You do not fuck with us.

Sure that sounds all high and mighty, but seriously?
They're basically telling us that they have jobs.
Fascinating.

 

[The Austin]

I honestly think that $Chan just needs to die. This kind of thing DOES NOT HELP ANYONE. It just makes gamers and web surfers look like terrorists.

 

[Ih8pkmn]

(sigh)

Any anon members reading this: You do know what the consequences are going to be, right? 4chan is going to be classified as a terrorist website if you keep this up.

Also: Guy Fawkes masks are NOT cool. If you really want to be anonymous, don't even appear.

Show me an open source, copy-right free group that can create chips that can rival what Intel produces. Show me a developed economy that doesn't protect inventors. Show me advanced technology built by people who don't want a cent in return. Show me new anti-retroviral drugs that are tested and researched for over 20 years, produced by teens in their mom's basement.

A lot of these anonymous people are just teens in their mom or dad's basement, who write little bits of code or do indie games and thus, they have the arrogant assumption that just because they can write code for free (and not very good code at that), all code should be free all the time.

But that way of thinking is shallow and stupid. Advanced biological research requires millions if not BILLIONS of dollars. I would know - I do biological research. I have a degree in Biotech, which means that I also understand how the biotech industry operates (they make you take a few business courses and do a few PDPs, that's Product Development Proposals by the way). Simply put, you cannot have an "Open source" biotech industry. The amount and quality of reagents that we require is enormous. The costs associated with our research is similarly ENORMOUS. You cannot do PCR reactions in your mom's basement (well, not clean, reliable PCR reactions). You cannot clone plasmids or do electroporation in your dad's attic. It requires LABS, it requires MILLIONS OF DOLLARS IN EQUIPMENT.

SOMEONE MUST FOOT THE BILL! SOMEONE MUST PAY FOR THAT! And that is WHY we need investors, who would LIKE to see a RETURN ON THEIR INVESTMENT! Got that genius! That is WHY we need PATENTS and WHY WE NEED COPYRIGHT!

The only alternative is to let the government fund every single medical or biological project. The only alternative to the patent/copyright system, is to let the government fund everything with your tax dollars. Would you like that? I didn't think so.

Thank you for saying this. A very intelligent reply to a very idiotic group of people.
