Ignorance knows no bounds. This is just further proof that SOPA/PIPA has/had nothing to do with protecting copyrights, it was about censorship - this is a perfect example of how they don't even need SOPA ... they have no trouble as it is making a US law reach all the way to New Zealand.

I don't know if today is a worse day to be a website operator or a datacenter worker.

Sad, really.

Oh boy, reading this toasts my cookies! !#$#$%&%^&&)@#%!!

It was only a matter of time.

Update 14 from site linked in SuperTaz's post states that there was a reported 27,000+ PC's involved in the DOJ attack... that along with the other recent events of the past few months including SOPA and PIPA make it seem as though we are the lowly mortals caught between a battle of the Gods and Titans in ancient Greek mythology... who's who though, that's my question?

Doesn't really matter. I'm gonna grab my popcorn and sit this one out and just enjoy the view.

I have the soft drinks but did you bring a bag large enough to sneak it into the movie theater so we can get out $50 cheaper for the night???

:erm: WHAT?! :rolleyes:

Now, Mike, you know I got it covered. ;)
