According to Gizmodo.com, Anonymous has shut down the sites of the main corporate and U.S. Government copyright enforcers, including:
Motion Picture Association of America
Recording Industry Association of America
Universal Music
EMI
U.S. Copyright Office
Department of Justice
FBI
Plus foreign agencies, including: French copyright authority HADOPI
If these sites have been indeed attacked on the 19th I'd like to be the first to say: 1/19 WAS AN INSIDE JOB !
Sounds a lot like the familiar "9/11 was an inside job"; I know. How convenient for the U.S. Government to have this cyber "attack" when SOPA and PIPA where becoming very unpopular with the vast majority of Americans. The same way the events of 9/11 served to erode our freedoms, this "cyber 9/11" will be used as an excuse to strip freedom from internet users.
Next stop- finger print recognition and face scan just to get online to keep us safe from cyber terrorists. "That's ridiculous" you say... 11 years ago it would have been ridiculous to say there would be TSA groping Americans to keep us safe.
