Megaupload Shut Down For Good!

:P

Why do I think that is funny?

I have nothing against downloaders anonymously surfing the net and seeing what they can see without repercussions as long as they don't partake in sharing other peoples work without their permission, but...

MegaUpload is NOT an anonymous service!

Any service that tracks everything you do to be used against you at a later date is a party to blackmail and extortion

It's like saying we can do whatever we want as long as YOU agree to our terms and are a party to our crimes

HANG THEM!

:P

Here's a quick summary of events:

* On Wednesday, thousands of websites participated in an "internet blackout", protesting against proposed US anti-piracy legislation.

* Yesterday, file-sharing website Megaupload was shut down, and its founders arrested.

The charge? Online piracy alleged to have cost the entertainment industry more than half a billion dollars.

* Overnight, websites belonging to the FBI, Department of Justice, RIAA, MPAA, Universal and others were struck by a distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attack.

* The loosely-knit collective Anonymous has claimed responsibility for the attacks (which they dupped Operation Megaupload):

Anonymous now drafting innocent bystanders into criminal acts

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2012/01/anons-rickroll-botnet/

This is much older and "possibly" of no relation to whats going on now but I've never seen it before

http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2011/11/anonymous-hacks-forensics/

I wonder if anonymous will use all the personal data collected from law enforcement personnel to wage a global wild west shootout with each other?

Who could they possibly arrest if law enforcement starts shooting at each other with Low Orbit Ion Cannons ?

Better ask Pre-Crimes division
^_^

The cops will hit the Feds with Red Lights before the Feds can pull their ion cannons out of their pants

Sounds like the red light district to me?
