I'm sorry to ruin everyone's fun, but am I the only one who realizes how stupid, juvenile, and petty anonymous is?
Well, do you want to just sit there with your thumbs up your ass and not do a thing about this?
I didn't partake in this myself and didn't even know about it until minutes ago, but I believe this is a necessary evil to repel a greater evil.
Two wrongs don't make a right.
You can protest without breaking the law. Wiki + other sites did it yesterday.
well, #1 this actually got their attention instead of just responding with "wiki and stuff just failed to provide service to people when its their responsibilitiez" when wiki went down yesterday
and #2 as "stupid" as anonymous can be, I still support them because they mean serious business.
Just imagine a kid and a parent at a store and the kid is making a scene and crying. With the kid being the government and SOPA and whatever the fuck else. The parent shushes them, tells them "you cant do that etc I'll take your xbox away, etc etc" thats how wiki and other websites did yesterday. They responded in a mature legal way.
Now imagine the same situation, but the parent instead of shushing and grounding the kid, slaps the fuck out of the kid and spanks his ass.
The kid will now be surprised mom did this and stop because he'll most likely be scared shes gonna hit again.
Pretty much this, not that I approve slapping your kid's shit in the middle of a Winn-Dixie.
Well, do you want to just sit there with your thumbs up your ass and not do a thing about this?I'm mostly just saying that they're the ones with the thumbs up there ass if any, with the politicians. It's like how you probably thought you'd be some bad ass vigilante when you were a kid or something. It's stupid, they are really not significant... but for some reason they're every internet kiddie's hero. They mean nothing. They change nothing. They are nothing. Nothing but a bunch of idiots on the internet with masks and attention from the people gullable enough to listen to their shit, and how they're changing America by scaring the politicians.

Fellow /b/ tards,
Recent events have certainly stirred things up.. Megaupload, one of the biggest sites in the world, got taken down by a joined effort of many authorities all over the world including the FBI. This, together with uprising of the NDAA, SOPA and PIPA have shocked many of you. However, these events should come as no surprise because we only have ourselves to blame.
Because it is us, the people that have let this happen. We have let them take it this far. We got lazy and didn't keep our politicians in check. For every time we didn't go out to vote. For every time we did not speak up when our representatives didn't follow our ideas. For every time we let the media fool us with lousy non-debates. For every time we let the politicians mislead us with false evidence and phony promises. We had to rights to do all of this, but we failed to keep our end of the bargain: to be truely critical towards our leaders. Already in Roman times the politicians knew about the so called 'Bread and circuses', an effective way to dumb down the plebs and keep them shut. How many of you choose to be dumbed down by easy entertainment? How many of you have closed your eyes for the powers your leaders keep granting themselves?
Don't get me wrong, I applaud every one's actions against recent events, but we need to see the bigger picture here. We can NOT let this momentum fade and become passive once more. Because after this threat, many more will come. Some more sutile than others, that's where the dangers lay.
I'd say it's time for us, the people, to rise up! It's time for us to make them honour our rights! It's time for us to be critical towards EVERYTHING and SPREAD THE WORD. It's time, to regain our POWER!
They wanted to take down our internet, so we took down theirs.
Sounds like the tagline for a really bad B-movie.I try my best.
I try my best.

The DDoS attack has probably helped the politicians realize "Wait, this bill upsets our people". Remember that the people keep the politicians in office, and the only way a politician can go totally against the people's view is to take control and totally oppress them or inevitably lose their position of power (and money) when the expiration date comes close.A petty DDoS attack wouldn't mean shit lol.
Fuck. Devie, you fucking uploaded Copyrighted content. Ban>copy and paste youtube link
A petty DDoS attack wouldn't mean shit lol.I agree with some of this, if they want to make a DDOS attack then have it prolonged and have it attack a government website (like they did to jov.gov, or whatever it's name was)
I'm pretty damn sure the whole Wikipedia and other sites shutting down in protest makes an impact. Not a DDoS that more than likely did absolutely nothing.

I'm pretty sure a few government and bureaucratic websites having become maliciously taken down by protesters online isn't exactly "petty" or "did absolutely nothing".The reason I say that is because I'm pretty sure that really hardly did anything... and as far as I know, it didn't even happen. If anonymous was so damn bad that they take down government websites and cause actual trouble, that they would have been quite easily jailed by now. Believe it or not, your country isn't that stupid to let a bunch of idiots on the internet really cause trouble to the government. But even say I'm wrong, and anonymous is a huge pain to them. You really think that stuff doesn't happen to them all the time then? In other words, it still would have done absolutely nothing.
Also I'm surprised that the imperial US eagle wasn't put up, like they did to http://tvshack.net (http://tvshack.net) and that was the MPAA as well.

I believe it is very difficult to catch a member, hence the name anonymous...
I don't think it's a lack of wanting to apprehend members of anonymous. I believe it is very difficult to catch a member, hence the name anonymous...Yea, I'm not believing that. If they were a big threat, one way or another, that information would easily end up in discussion outside of the internet, on the news, etc. They're not a big threat.
Well...Revolution anyone?
