HOLY FU- Anonymous is PISSSSSED!

[moviedork]

I love how out of all of the things available to rage about, anonymous chooses trying to get revenge over a site that has always had the association of being a haven for streaming copyrighted material. To me, this makes anonymous a painfully hilarious band of dedicated idiots.

Not only that but they are gasp PROFITING off the consumers who want the ability to share copyrighted material. What Megaupload is doing is completely criminal.

I need to come into the bunker!

Do you supply other foods apart from Popcorn? Can't say I'm a fan. Also, drinks! What beverages we taking?

Spoiler: This is the only choice of drink in the bunker

and this is our menu:

Spoiler: Burgers

Spoiler: Pizza

Spoiler: and of course, this!

Cuisine, internet style.

Uhh... Am I the only one here that knows that Anonymous is a group designed to protect us and grief corporations attempting to crush our rights (specifically those related to the internet)?

Tell me someone is paying attention, please. I mean think about it, has the FBI ever really done anything good for you?

It's not about what the site does, it's about fighting censorship. One site goes down, it sets a precedent that could put any site down...

Wake up.

BINGO! 4 in a row!!!!

Srsly though: I think that Anon's attack is being viewed (as for now) seperately from SOPA/PIPA's blackout protests.

However, I do agree with other escapists when they say that it's highly suspicious that Megaupload was taken down the day AFTER the protests. Is the government trying to show people "This is how SOPA works? Because it hasn't passed yet (or hopefully at all...) so they should stop over-reaching

 

[BoogieManFL]

I don't see the part that explains why I should care.

 

[Mrmac23]

Holy shit. Anyone who thought Anonymous was harmless or dead is going to get one hell of a nasty surprise when they find out about this. Now i'm actually somewhat afraid of them.

 

[CarlMin]

Alright this has gone to far. If they people who calls themselves Anonymous actually want to defeat SOPA, they should start by taking down themselves.

I mean Christ, these preposterous hackers will only serve to make it hard for people to view the opposition seriously.

Maybe if people would stop paying attention to their stupid media-stunts, they will disappear.

Still waiting for the modern day Robespierre. Oh how wonderful that day will be.

Kinda hard to do when the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been taken down. It won't stop them from working but its the FBI, you know, men in black, people in suits who know secret shit almost as much as the CIA.

I know myself that it's not going to happen, I'm just worried about the damage that Anom has caused the SOPA-protesters.

OT:

Honestly, if this bill does go through I'd be quite happy joining up with some of these attacks. I used to think that such actions would provide a kind of justification for measures such as SOPA and PIPA to regulate the internet, but I'd like to think that this form of protest just shows that the people affected are willing to do something about it all. Maybe I'm being uncharacteristically optimistic, but I'd prefer there to be more of these sorts of things rather than just take it laying down.

 

[A3Bf72rVWE5hA]

You know, i would actually respect the group Anonymous if they werent Anonymous.

They are wussies hiding behind their computers. There is a difference between revolutionaries and "terrorists"..... Revolutionaries dont hide in their mothers basement. Nor do they hide behind masks, but "terrorists" do.

PS. i use the word "terrorists" because there really isnt another term to call these jag-offs.

I believe "vigilante" would be fitting

OT: so long as bills like SOPA and PIPA aren't passed, I can pretend anonymous are all great and splendid. otherwise, it would just make them look like angry children in a way.

 

[kebab4you]

Again, they are referring too using the LOIC program as hacking, it isn't. Any smuck can type in an IP address and push "fire"... I do more "hacking" when I just the school security T.T"

And seeing how this will only be a minor inconvenience(assuming they don't follow up with something good) I doubt any of the companies will care :<

Edit: So I did some more reading and they passed around a troyan also which turned PCs into drones. Niftier, still doesn't help all that much.

 

[Ympulse]

Stop overreacting, monkies. DDoS is nothing more than, as posted before, tearing down a flyer someone put up. There isn't any hacking going on. The FBI hasn't magically shut down, everything is continuing as it did yesterday and the day before, they just don't have working websites.

 

[natster43]

Well then everybody. Let us watch this glorious train wreck happen! Someone pass the popcorn.

Wake up.

With Megaupload gone, it helps fight SOPA since less of a threat (profiting off storlen- copyrighted material) means less of a push from the industries that originally supported the bill.

if sopa does pass... oh god what will they do then. i dont even want to think about it

Might as well jump in the bunker. I also got some music:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vvt3NW97Rko&list=PLD4FB0EBACC0597B4&index=110&feature=plpp_video
