I'm surprised Anon wasn't involved until now, but to be honest the Internet's doing a fine job of taking care of itself so far. At least Anon's here to do damage control.

The end is beginning, my brothers and sisters! All shall be reduced to ashes! None will survive the coming storm!

Two things.

1. This enforces the idea that the internet needs to be regulated, because if it's one thing that the law absolutely despises, it's vigilantes.

2. Anonymous has no discretion. And this does cover ALL of the little splinter groups calling themselves Anonymous. Like attacking Utah. What did Utah do to anyone?

What's all this talk of the roof caving in and heading for the bombshelter? Take a look outside people, the sky is still there and the ICBMs haven't dropped as far as I can tell... More hyperbole, anyone?

What if the government DDOSed Anonymous? Would anyone else love to see that happen?
You wouldn't be able to do that unless you actually knew who the people behind the DDOS were, and in that case you could just have regular law enforcement deal with them.

Anon are a touchy bunch, and my views on them are also touchy. It's hard to support a "group" of people whose goal is moral but methods are childish.

But in this case, what they did helps nothing, when the some US politicians want to try and pass a law that could censor the net the last thing to do is fuel their reason.

So...

Anon does nothing to show it's backing of SOPA but when a file sharing website gets taken down 'it's on'?
To be fair, the Feds did shut down its sister site, Megaporn...

...so obviously things got real.

Methinks someone hasn't been watching what Anonymous has been doing. They went dark yesterday as well.

Well you'd be right about that.

I don't give a toss what anon do, and DDoSing something doesn't exactly spark the thoughts of 'internet vigilantes'. Just 'internet guys with nothing better to do'.

I agree with this eventhough I haven't been at Megaporn in a nice while yet I do remember when it was once called Megarotic. You just don't fuck with people's porn nor their money. Shit is gonna get heavy fast.

And this is why you don't mess with Megaporn.
Anon, love them or hate them, I guess they are at least dealing with the loss of files (porn) in the only way they know.
"They took our porn? FIRE THE DDOS CANNON!"
