That seemes extremily ineffective. Surely Anon and supporters can keep that up for a few hours, a couple of days at most?karloss01 said:

I am reminded very much of this xkcd.
EDIT: aww two people beat me to it
Because they didn't do anything at all.
It is just what people hear.
They can fix their website simply by blocking the ports being attacked. So it all depends how much the web site administrators care to fix it or by how determined every last member of the attackers are.

Yea, I don't think that Anons way is the smartest way to show your displeasure, but it might land in the newspaper at some point.
I would REALLY like to have an official statement as to WHY the FBI suddenly developed an interest in megaupload. I mean, a LEGAL reason - not the very likely "oh, my friend/uncle/brother asked me to take the boys out for a little raid and said he'ld tip me kindly for it."
Afaik it's not illegal to host data on the internet and as long as SOPIPA isn't written into law, you aren't responsible for what filthy pirates are hosting on your sites.
Or else, the FBI should aim higher and target those filthy cable companies, indiscriminatly providing internet access to ANYONE.
What about Starbucks and their WiFI ? Caffein and Internet = perfect breeding grounds for Pirates !

When I read about the attacks, I giggled like an idiot for 5 minutes straight. Make room in that bunker, I brought a life supply of cheese puffs and spare ribs.
These attacks will be remembered for a long, long time. Mark my words, if the US government decides to do anything else, Anonymous will lunge at any site they can find that supported SOPA, and the Great Internet War will truly begin. After the Battle Of A Billion DDoSers, WE will be the ones to deal with the fallout.

Wait for me! I'll bring the tea and sophistication! (Fancy Friday today. I'm dressed up.)mParadox said:
another ddos, i was hoping for something a little more mildly entertaining.
Oh well, anyway i really don't think this is going to help the megaupload case mind you, im quite sure it will just mildly annoy everyone involved, you cant keep a ddos up for ever, at worst its just going to make them look bad (come on now look at anons reputation, im not so sure being supported by them makes you look good outside of the internet).
well im just going to point out i neither support or hate anon or there actions and i am in no way affiliated with them.
On a side note i have to point this out, but if they can really do this, why do they need sopa, this just goes to prove that they have ample powers in place to deal with piracy already, to the point they can shut down sites with legitimate uses who already have a way to deal with copyrighted materials being posted on there sites in place, i mean im quite sure megaupload was not hosted in the us (i could be wrong on this so... if i am you may as well just ignore this one)

They more than likely will be remembered for a few weeks at most at this point, and probably not fondly.snagli said:

Don't kid yourself, of course they are terrorists, they are taking illegal action into what they think is right, it's causing less problems than a suicide bomber or something but in principal it's the same.Solo-Wing said:
Anyway, in a way I'm kind of glad Anonymous is taking action, but I do think MegaUpload lasted longer than anyone expected.
Well there goes the last shred of respect I had for them. Doing what they do consciously and actively is one thing, I can almost get behind that. But forcing random jerks to join in goes way too far. I've always been more neutral than anything and didn't particularly care if Anon got taken down a notch but now I hope mass arrests are handed out to those that initiated this.
Ok, I have a huge problem with a part of this. Not the whole taking websites down, thats quite entertaining.
The problem I have is with the fact that they are putting out peoples personal information, like they have the head of MPAA Chris Dodd's family details and home addresses. That is not cool that opens the door for some fucknut to go and possibly attack his family in the name of bringing down SOPA or something.
Fucking with websites is fine, it doesn't effect me, so I will stand back and watch the fireworks. Fucking with peoples lives is not.

Who the fuck said this was coordinated, sure as fuck don't look coordinated, looks like a riot to me.Solo-Wing said:
Well, I for one find it very entertaining. To me, SOPA and PIPA are a complete disgrace, even more so outside the USA considering they are messing with a global network and economy for their own gain. Sure, maybe anonymous isnt doing MUCH... and maybe they arent going about it the right way... but at least they are spitting on the fire as opposed to millions of net users sitting back to watch the whole thing burn. Personally speaking, if I was an American citizen, Id be trying to organise a riot at this stage myself. Anyone wants to suggest to me what I personally can do to stop PIPA and SOPA, and Id be happy to... but until then... *Grabs a nuka-cola and a laser rifle* Im gonna it right here and laugh, because as much as people on here talk about bunkers and about ineffectual teenagers... anonymous is doing more about the situation than the escapist is. And I for one dont want to see America screw over the internet for no damn reason.
It's already been said, but DDoS is to hacking, what a queue at the post office is to bank robbery.
Credit where it's due, though, retooling that DDoS program was pretty clever.
Not that I'm saying they're wrong to do this, but I think anonymous needs to learn digital attacks aren't going to influence these people. Put up posters publicly decrying them as fascists near music stores or something. You could do one that compares the MPAA to the Nazis, the Reich's Swastika was designed to attract peoples attention, and it still does, exactly the sort of attention anonymous wants these groups getting.

This should be interesting. I'll have to watch the fallout from the safety of the internet bunker. Who's got the popcorn?

Sorry anon, until you prove me you are nothing but a group of teenagers with a sense of entitlement, I won't take you seriously.
OT: This will only help SOPA. Now they can accuse the detractors of supporting and simpatizing with terrorists.
