Following the shutting down of Megaupload, hackers gathered in the group Anonymous are still standing with their campaign against the Stop Online Piracy Act SOPA and the next step was displayed by uploading the Sony web discography, putting a list in alphabetical order of links, through programs or P2P file sharing, so that users can download the complete discography of said Japanese company, as well as films released between 2000 and 2011.

In this way, the songs of AC / DC, Oasis, Jimi Hendrix, Bob Dylan, Madonna and Justin Timberlake, among others, were exposed in cyberspace for those interested.

In addition, this attack was accompanied by a campaign called Black March, which encourages surfers to hit the profit margins of the culture industry throughout the month by boycotting the use of such content.

A friend of mine told me about it and i thought it was weird that i hadn't read about it here. Though he told me more details like the used a server of their own and that the FBI was trying to take it down but it was unstoppable (But he uses to exagerate stories).

I found little info about it on Google too.

I hate SOPA/PIPA/ACTA but this is just petty. This solves nothing, in fact it just makes things worse.

So to stop S.O.P.A. / P.I.P.A. and A.C.T.A. they pirated software to then share?

Waaaaah? Did I read that wrong or something?

Ah, the cry of Anonymous.

"WE NOT ONLY WANT, BUT DESERVE FREE SHIT! AND WE WILL CAMPAIGN FOR OWN SELF-ENTITLEMENT UNTIL WE LIVE IN A PERFECT UTOPIA WHERE NOBODY IS EVER COMPENSATED FOR THEIR CREATIVE WORKS!"

SOPA/ACTA/PIPA suck. They really do. But this? This is just making everyone involved in the whole "WE R ANONUMUS!!11!1" handle look even more fucktarded than they already seemed.
