If it gets bigger, yes, we will.
People aren't thinking about this from the "I don't understand the internet" perspective. And those are the people making the laws and doing a
lot of the voting. To them, knowing that a small group of kid hackers can causing this kind of trouble makes the internet even
scarier. And pirates and hackers are, in the minds of many of these people, two heads of the same monster.
This is just going to make these people
more afraid of the internet. And that means they'll
welcome tighter control.
Anonymous aren't helping anyone with this. These aren't carefully measured steps toward a goal. They're making noise because they can, and the whole Robin Hood angle is just icing on the cake to them.
I love the folks that talk about how this is amazing because it was "thrown together in a day." Do you really believe that? These guys sit around
waiting for excuses to spring into "action." They knew SOPA was coming, and they probably had this in the works for weeks.
That means you've got a group that is
looking for trouble. And that's bad for everyone. Government? Anonymous? I side with neither.
