'Ooo my website is down, big deal' is what I'd say if my website got taken down by my 'greatest enemy' . It doesn't affect big corporations at all because we go buy their stuff whether we like it or not? So shouldn't we be affecting bottom lines to make a tangible difference? Like majorly, given we ARE the source of that bottom line.edit on 20-1-2012 by ragsntatters because: added a word
[A]n attack this big on this many government sites will effectively erase those good Internet vibrations that were rattling around Capitol Hill this week and harden the perspective of legislators and law enforcement who want to believe that the Web community is made up of wild, law-breaking pirates. That, ultimately, may help strengthen the business–and the emotional–case for the pro-SOPA, pro-PIPA lobby. Did the feds just get the last lulz?

Exactly, and the media coverage it's getting, can lead to no other suggestion than it's an CIA co-operation for purposes yet to be revealed. Nothing come's from these few hours of downtime, and people cheer to anon's, like they have made a change, yet they have made nothing but ping attack's, quotes from movies, few people gone out for a rampage and got criminal record for spitting a cop's face or trashing public places.
Oh and then there was mr. Assage, who raised a great deal of money from supporters around the world, what did he revealed, that really mattered? nothing, it's like people forget these frauds in just few eye blinks. sad, really
