    If you thought people were mindless sheeps here, I think you will be even more disappointed in New Zealand.

    You know, terrorists are not always a bad thing...here's why:

    Legistlation is obviously not stopping the RIAA in any capacity from stripping our rights from us under the guise of protecting themselves. Even boycotts barely make even a dent on their revenues. There are just too many people willing to just take their shit, and it is entirely too easy for them to buy people off. It IS happening and can't be denied.

    I propose an entirely different solution to this resistance. Abandon all of this useless legislation and boycotting, because democracy and the free market has abandoned us here. The only way I forsee us winning this is if we make it harder for them to do business. I'm sure many people here have access to or control a good bit of their infrastructure. Unplug routers to their website, hack their servers, just do anything that will make it harder for them to operate. There a limited number of them and a hell of a lot more of people like me that are pissed off and resourceful. They will learn to fear us and we will be their demise. This is the new kind of terrorism, a good kind with a just cause. Join the fight!
