The Internet Strikes Back #OpMegaupload

Within minutes of the site being shut down, and DOJ releasing its statement, Anonymous sprang into action and started taking down a ton of sites -- including websites for the DOJ, the US Copyright Office, Universal Music, the RIAA, the MPAA and a bunch of other sites.


Department of Justice (Justice.gov)
Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA.org)
Universal Music (UniversalMusic.com)
Belgian Anti-Piracy Federation (Anti-piracy.be/nl/)
Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA.org)
Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI.gov)
HADOPI law site (HADOPI.fr)
U.S. Copyright Office (Copyright.gov)
Universal Music France (UniversalMusic.fr)
Senator Christopher Dodd (ChrisDodd.com)
Vivendi France (Vivendi.fr)
The White House (Whitehouse.gov)
BMI (BMI.com) 
Warner Music Group (WMG.com)

Anonymous launches largest attack ever, crippling government and music industry sites. Hacktivists with the collective Anonymous are waging an attack on the website for the White House after successfully breaking the sites for the Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, RIAA and Motion Picture Association of America.

Many members of Congress have just changed their stance on the controversial Stop Online Piracy Act, or SOPA, the raid on Megaupload Thursday proved that the feds don’t need SOPA or its sister legislation, PIPA, in order to pose a blow to the Web.

  55. There is nothing more despicable that a government that spies on it's own people, their every communication , monitored, their every movement logged, their personality profiles used for prediction of future behavior. A government that is opposed to it's own people, has to monitor everything they do.

  89. Well shit... taking down the site wont stop RIAA and all the other bastards.
    The problem is is that those old fags are sitting on their asses and want to earn cash by doing nothing. As the media becomes more free, those guys go batshit because they start loosing money they were getting for 70 years non stop.
    And it will be quite hard to change because they are old and rich and that's the scariest combo the world has ever seen.
    Opposing bills is good fun and all but as you can see, the government doesn't give a fuck.
    They don't need bills to start a war and this is basically war.

  94. finally anon is doing something worthy of their name. First it was a major child porn ring, now they've knocked out all these govt sites for a while. However, a suggestion? if SOPA and PIPA pass, why not rip into the CIA and take ALL their secrets, then spread them out to everyone on the net to read before the govt and shut down the net for good.
