Operation Payback Shuts Down IFPI Site

newtley writes "Vivendi Universal, EMI, Warner Music and Sony Music's main IFPI (International Federation of Phonographic Industry) website is down. Not coincidentally, there's an Operation Payback post addressing the Pirate Bay crew's lost sentencing appeal: 'Dear IFPI, MAFIAA and other parasites, The recent verdict in the Swedish Appeal Court (ThePirateBay spectrial) provoked this statement from Operation: Payback. We emphasize our statement with a Distributed Denial-of-Service attack aimed at the IFPI's website.'"

Your entire post can be summed up as:

'I don't care that I'm in the minority, its my way or the high way'

And please, never fucking compare what this is to MLK again.

This is like lighting someones business on fire so they can no longer operate their business. Versus actual non-violent activities like peaceful protests.

And drop the fucking 'oppressor' bullshit, you've never fucking known oppression if you think what they do is oppression.

You're nothing more than a spoiled clueless brat who thinks he/she is entitled to anything and everything you desire regardless of what anyone else thinks. I'm blown away that you compared this bullshit to the work of MLK. You really are out of your mind.

and while at it, even in this little bit, learn at least some shit.

April 16 1963

Martin Luther King is arrested and jailed during anti-segregation protests in Birmingham, Ala.; he writes his seminal "Letter from Birmingham Jail," arguing that individuals have the moral duty to disobey unjust laws.
