RIAA Smacked by DoS

nekid writes "ZDNet is reporting that the RIAA's website was hit by a denial-of-service (DoS) attack over the weekend, most likely in response to their endorsement of legislation that would give them permission to do the same to personal computers that are pirating music (see earlier article). Seems to me that they are killing themselves with bad public relations..." But it seems to me that they don't care, and are instead banking on the ignorance of the bulk of the world.

Karma

RIAA has bad karma. What goes around, comes around.

They deserve it.

Ah, so it's OK to bring ourselves down to their level? Thanks for clearing that up. An eye for an eye leaves everyone blind.

Re:Mature

Mature? This is war you twit. These morons have declared war on the digital citizens of the world and your response is like the British to the German invasion of Poland. Sometimes civilized will get you killed.

As for your own maturity, your syntax speaks volumes about your own "maturity." For example, why do you put quotation marks around "mob rule"? Perhaps there's something suspect about the term? As for "they'll go against congress with a 'see?", what in bloody Hell is that supposed to mean? Is this how "mature" folks speak? Not in my universe. And what in the world do stepping stones have to do with anything? You think you can just throw out some silly figure of speech in an attempt to make yourself look mature?

Congress already agrees. They've been bought and paid for to agree. This is about our so-called representatives representating anyone who will fill their trough with swill. "Mmmm...yum...yum...can we be in your next movie Mr. Hollywood man?" These political whores don't know the meaning of the term "rule of law," they left their maturity at the guard's desk, and they can't even conceive of the consequences of legalizing corporate funded hacker attacks, and you don't think it's "mature" for someone to give them a clue as to the consequences of their pinheaded actions? You are the one who needs to grow up.
