Well we all know that Anon is has strong 4chan roots so I was imagining they'd DDOS that and play it off as another group pro-government.Hal10k said:
Anonymous Exacts Revenge for Megaupload Takedown
- Thread starter The Wooster
- Start date
These are just attacks out of desperation nothing will happen because of them. These arent websites we visit everyday and them being taken down for a short amount of time will not in fact do any real damage.
Take down amazon.com then you know...people will freak out and be scared. Because if you take a site like this that makes $ out of being online and available then people will pay attention.
Taking the departement of justice down does what? Piss them off and makes them shut down another site. Who wins in that exchange ?

Its not enough. Im furious right now because I have because of circumstances of uploading massive amounts of my personal files I created to megaupload so I could reformat my PC and correspondingly being blocked from the web host for those files the day after I reformat the PC I now have tens of thousands of hours (In essence years) of my personal work and labor being held hostage because many of the items I stored for the purposes of reformatting do not have physical files (Such as incomplete drawings, Massive library of audio track recordings, animation studio proofs, etc) that are absolutely irreplaceable.
This reaction is STILL too small. This shit is beyond control and certainly well beyond politely compromising and negotiating. Man I am really glad I got what supplies I have prepared when I did.

Then the government would have perfect reasons to censor the internet... Good lord, I discovered their next move. This is all part of their plans!Hal10k said:
They've taken a while to get involved in all this. They probably want to take a more backseat role this time seeing as the internet is doing good on it's own and will just retaliate when stuff like this happens. Still, things are getting a bit unsettling now.
Listen up everyone. Anonymous did not do this with SOPA in mind. They did not do this to make the internet a better place. This was not about helping anyone. They care not that you're whining about how it doesn't help.
Guess what, Anonymous are not the heroes of the internet, and I'll thank every deity who'll listen for that. I was afraid they had all been replaced by self-righteous tossers.
Plain and simple: Anonymous got pissed->Anonymous got busy. I hope they keep it up... despite what you whiny sods are saying. We have all got more important things to worry about than Anonymous doing their thing, anyway.
SOPA/PIPA is still a threat and we shouldn't be hoping that Anonymous is going to be fighting our "Good Fight" for us. In short: be upset with them later, because this has NOTHING to do with SOPA.

I don't mean this in a snarky, dickheaded way but how come you didn't back-up everything onto an exhd?viranimus said:
I'm a published author, and I have 3 back-up harddrives, just in case.
I'm asking sincerely, because I'm genuinely curious.
Not that I don't think it is royally fucked up that you can't access a site that you used for completely legal reasons.
Yeah!!!
TAKE THAT....UTAH POLICE CHIEFS!!!
....
Wait...why was the Utah Police targeted again?
Weren't the arrests made in New Zealand?
If you really think about it nobody really did anything of actual value. As ridiculous as Maddox can be, he does have a point [http://maddox.xmission.com/] here.Daystar Clarion said:

Of course he has a point, but as long as people raise up enough hell to show the swing backers of this legislation they need to think about it, then they did their job. What to do here, is to remember who's voting for it and make sure everybody else remembers, so these politicians and people like them don't ever get elected again.Frostbite3789 said:
Wow Anon. When you're not busy being cyber terrorists by publishing the names of the family members of CEOs and cops all over the net and then being complete idiots by putting people in danger of getting slaughtered by Mexican drug cartels, you're out taking down government websites just because an upload site that supported piracy gets shut down. Truly, this group will be rememberd for all the good that it has done.
They're trying the closest equivalent. It's called "SOPA".ChaplainOrion said:
(You may want to brush up on what Anonymous is before saying things like this. Protip: It's not a group of activists. Another pro-tip: By using the name "ChaplainOrion" and not including personal details on your profile, you are also part of Anonymous.)
