Doesnt matter, no one uses the US government websites, not even the US government.

@Anyways655 The fact hat they get thousands of hits every day belies your argument....

@10MLaw

Diplomacy really stopped Hitler.

OK, OK, kinda going in braking Godwin's law.

Diplomacy really stopped Milošević and Karađić.

Oh wait...

I think squee is right... There is no way attacking a government website will make citizens under the protection of the government scared of that group...

In all wars the army with the larger resource will always wait out the enemy with less

Or disarm the enemy's greatest weapon, and right now that weapon is the inter-web

And yes The American government could had done something more productive,

but violence only breeds violence,

and that will not help the general populace

i agree that mega upload was in the wrong. but i think that anonymous and people are just saying that the internet is a sort of free place. and you cant and shouldn't sensor it.

Glad this is working out, looking forward to some more of these. You had me worried that you were driving and doing this after seeing your video of driving in what I think was GTA. ( prehaps we can get some history lessons too. ;D

@SpiffySquee True enough. I don't really condone what they did. But if that had failed and this was the response I might agree with them. I agree it can harm their case and in some cases regular people. But yeah I agree with you. What I wrote is just how I feel about the subject matter.

[SpiffySquee]

@Ryu416 While I agree with almost all of this, it was not that they broke the law, but that they broke the law in such a way that harm might come to innocent people. I also ask how what they did was any better than those legal avenues you suggested? Writing you official may or may not help much, but at least it does not hurt your cause or others. Finally, the internet blackout showed that there are legal AND effective ways to combat legislation.

[Ryu416]

@Ryu416 One final thought. SOPA and PIPA shouldn't even be the main concern of our country. It should be mending our economy and broken systems. It should be about restoring jobs and ending borderline illegal activity perpetrated by some of our own rich population which is hampering our economy. Lobbyists payed for this to be introduced and pushed to the front when there are people suffering at home. I may be wrong, but I feel this is irresponsible of our own government.

[Ryu416]

@Ryu416 I agree it's not the best reaction, but what legal avenues do the common people have to stop people who are using the system to harm them? We can contact our representatives, we can not vote for people, but we can not actively rally against a law that is so clearly flawed and potentially harmful. I would never do anything drastic, but I feel powerless to stop things that I feel may stifle my voice, and infringe upon my own life.
