Teen Charged in Scientology Web Attack

If the Church of Scientology website isn't obscene, I see no way to reasonably justify having taken the Goatse.cx website down for obscenity.
 
I like how Scientology was identified as a Cult in France in 1995, and how they were at the top of the cult watch, when Scientology bankrupted that organization and I guess now runs it?
 
LOL, it was done by like 100 or more people using gigaloader to bring the sites servers to it's knees. It was not one person, you fail Justice Department.
 
How does a DoS attack result in a plea bargain for a year+ jail time and 30k+ fine? Oh no, a server was down for a little while, throw the bastard in prison? And this just reaffirms my theory that 4chan is the breeding ground for all that is good and bad about the internet (this one arguably being good).
 
I guess the law is based on how much money you have and how good your lawyers are
Scientology had an article published in Time Magazine referring to them as a CULT OF GREED

12 months of jail and $37,500 for what amounts to digital protest, maybe that's the going rate for having your body thetans removed?
