No one will ever take down Anonymous and how are they dicks? The only thing people are mad about them doing is shutting down PSN for am onth but you realize there was justification behind it right?

Anonymous cant ever be brought down, legit. Its members are unknown, its size is unknown, its location is unknown. It isnt the same people, it is a legion of people who follow the same moral code, it would be like eliminating a religion, it isnt happening.

They took down fbi.gov?
Thugs.

tbh anonymous is fucking awesome. the balls on these people.
so yeah is the whole megaupload thing related to sopa, i think so. but yeah i used mega for very legitimate reasons hundreds of hours of wrestling gone. that shit aint right.

To be fair, you may have used it for legitimate reasons but SO many people used it to upload TV shows, movies, albums, programs, etc. Am I pissed that it's gone? Sure, I loved that site. But am I surprised? Not at all.

thats like setting fire to house and not allowing time to get the valuables from inside. its fucked up. the media misses the world they used to live in where everyone was locked into paying their ridec prices. maybe 5 cents a song. a buck fifty for a movie (depending on the imdb rating of course) and maybe a dollar for an educational (that should be free) they get to have revenue again and we arent paying stadium prices for what could possibly be bullshit. music and movies still seem to come out and with the biggest budgets ever (avatar) so obv they dont need 22 bucks per album.

How about the people that paid from premium services for legitimate causes? I think they should be refunded and if not I see megaupload going back up before long. The government has proven, no matter how hard it tries, it can NEVER take down Pirate Bay.

A tidbit my teacher brought up that I think is a good point, and since he works in the industry he is for anti pirating, but not in the way the MPAA is. If companies wanted piracy down then they would stop out sourcing the work to china were MOST piracy is started in the first place. Do it in America, create jobs AND be able to monitor where copies of movies go and be able to respond without it being an international crime. So SOPA is a complete failure because that punished America not the people actually piarting.

And if you think for a second its Americans doing a lot of the piracy you are silly. Most torrent movies end up coming out months before the DVD release. Why is that? Because the companies outsourced to make the movies got it in early(obviously, to make the copies) and uploaded it. The way to stop piracy is to stop outsourcing. BOOM.

How does it counterbalance them AT ALL? Is it because you have a hard on for video games you think a video game network being down for a month is REALLY a counterweight to bringing down countless amounts of murderers and rapists? REALLY!?


This is why Batman is such a great hero because while people like him and from our perspective we know he is doing the right thing, there are those who question what he does. That is excatly what is going on right now.

For your info, any telephone death threats that come to random people, etc are usually if not always, random 4chan members who just think they are apart of Anon because they post on a site that alot of Anon members frequent. And the mebers on there are all "Anonymous users" so yeah. Doesnt mean they are actually apart of the efforts.

Patrick, you're a swell guy and all, but I couldn't have a serious discussion with you if you started one of your arguments with "This is why Batman is such a great hero."

Hey one of the most incredible lines of dialouge spoken in a movie is a discussion about Superman so....

Dude, the PSN shutdown has nothing on the rapes and murders. I'm more talking about the harassment and lack of mercy they show towards their victims (not all of them guilty), however just or unjust it may be. Plus threatening and actually try to, you know, hold the entire world economy hostage.

When Batman goes after the mob, he doesn't go after the innocent wives and kids as well. He also doesn't throw those who give themselves up to the wolves. He hands them over to the authorities and lets the actual system do its thing. He also never does anything that would put normal civilians in harm's way.

Anonymous has its moments where the old saying "the road to hell is paved with good intentions" rings true. They have good intentions, but sometimes their methods could seriously bring hell upon unsuspecting, innocent victims.

Remember that my original statement wasn't that I hate them or think that they're completely soulless assholes. Just that they have a tendency to be major dicks.

I think our government is worse, especially about blindly screwing people over.
