Vatic Note: I still believe anonymous is not a bunch of kids hacking into government sites or anyone elses site for that matter. I believe this whole thing is a false flag and a ruse to justify eventually controlling the net with the same choking grasp that they have on our freedom of speech and assembly, amoung other violations of our Bill of Rights and its all illegal. Anything in violation of the Constitution is illegal. Thus we are legal if we wish to do something about it. Like I said before, I hope they do it so we get off our duffs and away from the keyboard and begin doing some serious work to quit making this so easy for them. Its time this started costing someone besides us. Such actions helped to win WW II against all odds.

“An eye for an eye makes the whole world blind.” – Gandhi
The cyber war escalated to a whole new level yesterday. The U.S. government shut down the popular website MegaUpload at the behest of corporate interests. The Feds accused MegaUpload of stealing $500 million in potential lost revenue from copyright holders.
Almost immediately, the hacktivist group Anonymous retaliated by launching massive DDoS attacks on several websites including the US Copyright Office, Department of Justice, FBI.gov, Universal Music Group, Music Picture Association of America, and the Recording Industry Association of America. The attack called “Operation MegaUpload” is also said to be targeting Whitehouse.gov.
Many Internet freedom and privacy activists are cheering Anonymous’ assault against the U.S. Government and the corporate interests that control it. But I’m getting the eerie feeling that Anonymous is playing right into the hands of those who wish to control and censor the Internet.
First, I must state unequivocally that the U.S. government and the copyright holders are clearly the aggressors in this war. Their actions violate current copyright laws where the content providers must prove damages in the court of law before they can sabotage and ransack a business they accuse of stealing. Even though a grand jury supposedly indicted MegaUpload, it’s nearly impossible for them to prove “potential lost revenue” since those engaged in file sharing cannot automatically be considered lost customers.
