Megaupload = shutdown.

Various websites intermittently being targetted by Anonymous

Universal music
Department of Justice

It's really kicking off.

What you shutting down next Bry? Don't shut down GOT, PLEASE.

This is interesting. Is it just denial of service attacks?

That's all they ever are. Hardly impressive, like a group of gnats.

They don't need to, it's only a smokescreen.

Open source v profit model...the battleground is new(ish), but it''s all part of an age old struggle between commodification and social ownership.

I think we all know who the good guys are here.

What about everyone who paid for a membership on it and has GBs of stuff backed up on it? People are going to kick off.

Got excited about them hacking the FBI etc until i found out it was just a DDos attack...What happened to the people who hacked Sony?

Anyway, its quite scary the fact that Megaupload has been taken down before any bill has been passed...saying that theres going to be another big website to come up after it - kinda like how Megaupload profited after Stage6 went down.

Twitter is funny to read #worldwarweb, cyber war etc etc...

The real hackers, the proper villains, they don't bother with all this DDOS bollocks. They probably aren't arsed about all this because they will be able to do their thing in the darknet.
