Anonymous Threatens Attack on Facebook for January 28

[gm0n3y]

[citation][nom]waethorn[/nom]Who is "they"? Anonymous is supposed to be autonomous. Anybody claiming to be from Anonymous can be.In any case, these fakers are just a bunch of douchebags, and they set a bad example. If you want to talk about fearmongering over copyright, how about this: these jokers advocate that everything should be public and no copyrights or intellectual property have any merit. Ok, so that means that cloud computing is out of the question since you can't post your vacation photos online with your kids because some asshole could just steal your login and sell it without your consent or whatever the hell they want because they don't see any problem with that (they have never seen any problem with stealing and publicly posting peoples logins and passwords and/or personal info before, including credit card info). Is this any better than SOPA? I'd argue that no, it isn't, since any beautiful being with a bit of hacking ability can steal your documents or whatever and use it either against you or for their own gain without any moral regard. This is the view of the Pirate Party in Sweden, just FYI. They see theft of any kind a victimless crime. Pictures of your kids: gone. Your doctorate thesis: so long. This is what they advocate. Sorry, but the world doesn't operate that way, and never should.[/citation]
I actually think that copying data should be legal, as long as you aren't profiting from it in any way. I say this as a musician and software developer. Its fine for the police to go after people / companies if they are making even a few dollars off of someone else's work.

You can't have your cake and eat it too. Either you give something away freely and openly, and suffer any consequences, or you restrict access to it. What Anonymous (and the Pirate Party of Sweden) advocate is that it's okay to steal and take whatever data they want, regardless of permission. Even as you say you don't mind if copying is legal "so long as...." is just another restriction. In the case of these jokers, they would just take what they want, including credit card information from websites that would otherwise be secure. Anybody that thinks these assholes are some kind of Robin Hood gang really needs to have their head examined. They're not stealing from the rich - they're stealing from citizens and giving to the greedy. Is this what you want? You did just say that it should be legal to copy data, as in steal it. That's not the same as picking and choosing what you want to share. Open source software programmers often parrot your sentiments, in that making profit from any works derived from your skills is somehow wrong and only labour costs money. "Ideas shouldn't be profitable" is what Stallman dictates. I don't know what kind of Socialist fantasy world he lives in but I'd like to know what kind of chemicals his pot was sprayed with.

The anonymous in this article (because who's to say who it is...) is a liar and has no problem endangering it's sheep, I mean followers.

"Do not fear," Anonymous states. "There is no way you can get caught. Hundreds of thousands of us citizens and those of the anonymous idea will all be participating. They cannot take down that large of a group. This is your chance, our chance. The fate of the internet rests in your hands, in our hands."


In fact many arrests have been made of people using LOIC to attack targets such as Paypal, but who cares if you get in trouble, it's all for the "greater good" right?
