RIAA Smacked by DoS

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the gonna-get-messy-before-it-gets-clean dept.

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.

    The RIAA makes more money than this crapy DoS costed them, did I need to explain that really?

    This retaliative attack amounts to nothing; it was carried out my anonymous individual(s) who didn't
    earn brownie points by for legal permission ;-)

    Either way, two wrongs don't make it right. Stop DoSing their website and go and promote your favorite
    independent music label instead.

    P.S. First Post.
