WW3, over the internet

That's the only good reason left to fight the war.
I mean, what have you got to lose? You know, you come from nothing, you're going back to nothing, what have you lost? Nothing!

Internet is not owned by anyone, it's funny how USA seems to believe that they should own it now.

Well, they started the whole thing.

And I highly disagree with this "war". This shit that anons did will just make our cause look even worse and will give them right to do as they please.

Ye, it's a conspiracy theory similar to that of 9/11 but it makes sense.

The Brits invented the microchip, does that give them right to do as they please with all computers?



While I certainly love the way, how all the big sites (wiki, google, wordpress and so on) gather attention and anonymous does their part, I think what the author of xkcd said about it last year is still true:

Such acts are symbolical, hurting the pride of the hacked organization, showing the limits of their security while sending a message to the World at large.

No, the USA Government thinks they have a right over the servers and companies that reside in the states, like how they "own" the tellecommunication lines and companies.
I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.
The terror of my reign will live on in infamy, singing when they die like a dead man's symphony.

Yeah all the people going "ZOMG IF THE US PASSES THIS EVERYONE IN THE WORLD WILL HAVE THE SAAAAMMMEEE LAAAAAWWWS" are very little informed about the different approaches to IP and international commercial law as practiced by different countries. Sweden and the other nordic countries are probably the best example.

A lot of stuff is based in the US, though and will be affected by these laws.

And don't forget the US' bootlickers who will instanty copycat what they're doing.

So they'll be forced to move? Awesome, way to go US, driving away some of your most innovative and productive corporations to the rest of the world. It's very generous of you. Even if they don't move, assuming the law passes, it's only a matter of time before others fill the vaccuum. It's even more of an incentive for others to not follow in their footsteps.
