Anon is essentially impotent in it's current form. So you took down the websites to the FBI? Big fucking deal. Oooo you took down a website... did you hamper their ability to do anything? no...
Essentially as far i can judge the government doesn't even view Anon as a issue. The minute they do, agents will start showing up at Anon members doors and if they American, they'll just vanish. If in a western country friendly to the US, they'll get extradited and then they'll vanish.
I find it amusing how much stock people put in the abilities of Anon.
News flash... the government has people working for them who could probably track down 95% of Anon members without breaking a sweat. They don't just care enough to bother.
I really wish Anon would do something fucking useful instead of essentially spray painting anarchist logo's on walls. Remind me a lot of the Occupy morons... good message, important as all hell, shitty delivery.

If you read the indictment report it shows that, while we've all seen the "link removed for copyright" on MU, they very knowingly took steps to allow the copyrighted infringement that every single one of us knows was their bread and butter. I loved free anime as much as the next person, but they were breaking the law, making a lot of money doing it and they knew it. The end.
The only contestable thing about it is the timing. The fact that the 2 yr investigation just happened to culminate a few days after SOPA started to dramatically fail says they used this attack specifically for their scheming, and THAT is what I have a problem with.
That and half-baked hackers who undermine the progress of one of the purest and most effective protests I can remember.

Probably not much. I don't think I've ever heard a story about anonymous 'hacking' that wasn't basic script kiddie stuff. The only companies they have had any success against were ones who's security was run by morons, and even then they had to get a girl to act cute and ask for the password, instead of actually cracking it.crhoades said:

What steps did they take? Other than "well they didn't aggressively search the entire database over and over and over for any minutae that might represent copyright infringement."Silenttalker22 said:

Anon has kinda messed up here since now people will panic and the goverment will have an excuse for even more crap like SOPA.
Although I can hardly blame them for wanting to do something, I was also pretty pissed since I used megavideo a lot to watch anime.

OT: If there really erupts a cyber war more than just defecation will hit the oscillation. I wonder what will happen next. More draconion laws? If Anon wins - Internet back to pre-Mega state - I will not eat meat and will not drink soft drinks for 4 months. Sorry Anon, your opponent seems more ready and larger
Well lets see The MPAA/RIAA wanted to create laws that would make it easy for them to just point and *pop* gone website..
.. Worse then the DMCA indeed..
And guess what the people who don't have access to lobyists and can buy whatever law they want.. well they have other tools. If they might not have one harpoon they have a thousand of needles... just as effective in the end.
MPAA and RIAA wage war against the internet.. guess what war goes both ways.

I'm pretty sure that all the people with personal files on megaupload care... and that's alot of people. pictures, home made music, small business backups etc. are now all in FBI custody.Hal10k said:
that seems like a major infringement of personal data to me...
go ANON
To the people saying "all Anon wants is attention": DUH.
Huge news organisations which ordinarily may not have given the smallest shit about Megaupload being taken down and people arrested, have noticed when those sites were taken down.
"It's only DDOS attacks! They were only down for an hour or so..."
What were you expecting, actually hacking? It's symbolic. Its getting attention.
"This has nothing to do with SOPA"
It has EVERYTHING to do with SOPA. If the US Government can close down foreign sites and arrest foreign nationals on foreign soil, why the FUCK do they need the blanket powers of SOPA?
Go Anonymous. Your actions bring this story to the public awareness, where it should be.

with people like this walking around I wonder how long it will take for people to intentionally plunge themselves into being part of a ddos swarmjuraigamer said:
