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.
The sad part is, the amount of people that know of anonymous or their activity, is relatively small. Sometimes the internet isn't the place to do it and their tactics these days are just stupid.Daverson said:
They spam sites so they go down for a couple days at the most... Wow. Yeah, the world isn't going to give a shite. Few people are going to know about it, most wont care and the sites themselves wont be down for long, they'll be mildly annoyed at the best. So really all that is achieved here is nothing.
You want to protest? you want to show them whats what? Then get out of your bedrooms, basements and what have you, get together, make some picket signs and throw up a protest in the real world.
Or as Daverson said, start throwing posters about and stuff up. Get out there and do something other than hiding behind a computer. I'm not even for or against their actions but if they really want to do something they need to get their heads in gear. I can't think of much that has been solved out of these spam attacks.
Also, stop wearing Guy Fawkes masks. Yes V for Vendetta was a good comic, I'm glad we can all agree but I get this feeling that most wearing them didn't read the book or totally missed the bloody point. That or they are celebrating the real Guy Fawkes, which would be scary considering he was a full out terrorist who we caught trying to blow up Parliament and kill thousands in order to get a Catholic king in place. There's a reason we celebrate bonfire night by throwing him on a pyre. Also, the guy was too much a coward to face his own execution.
Exactly my concern. The government will look at this and conclude, correctly or not:Solo-Wing said:
1) The Internet supports piracy and resorts to its equivalent of violence when piracy is threatened.
2) The Internet only opposes SOPA because people support piracy.
3) Stronger Internet regulations are needed.
this comes to mind.
but it is worrying that Anon can basically force you to help DDoS with a link.
what use would they be then? imagine if Lenin spent his time before 1917 dancing in front of the Winter Palace? he would be arrested, the revolution would end and Russia would stay autocratic.Bluntman1138 said:
From the looks of things, nothing would be better. As others said, this could possibly gain support for SOPA regardless of intention. Now is not a very good idea for them to start this shite.PS3Aussie said:
Though upon reading into it, I kind of support their intentions here. I don't use Megaupload much but apparently the place tries to keep itself legit but plenty of people are slipping through the cracks. Some have genuine legitimate files on their though and its not fair to attack the innocents for the wrong doing of the criminals.
Thank you... very true, I mean.. why purposefully open yourself to unfair treatment.. Hell... considering the stupid Gov half the members of Anon would be in Gitmo if they came forward... Anyone remember when you had to work to earn the title "terrorist"TrilbyWill said:
I hope this succeeds in getting the stupid charges and helps bring the Mega sites back, because the whole thing is just ludicrous.
Oooh, the wal is almost complete. Can't wait to see the purpose of the whole thing when it is finished. Thought with what is going own, that wall will be a good source of protection for you, basement not needed.Nouw said:
