Wait commodore64, I am a Christian, and I don't think a person should not have the freedom to smoke cannabis or be naked in his own home. Remember, many people call themselves something they are not with the intention of poisoning the well.

Negative, the woman "cut through" onto his property and saw he was naked inside of his own home. It makes as much sense as the guy who fell through the skylight while he was robbing someone and fell onto the knives upside down on the knife block, sued, and won. I couldn't find a similar story that I believe is different but one woman actually trespassed onto the guys property peeking into his window and had to stand on her tippy toes or get right up to the window to see him, and he was arrested as well. How can someone committing a crime cause someone else to commit a crime? Even if it could, it should be null and the original crime should take precedence and be the focus, for if it had not happened then there wouldn't have been a second.. right?

Aldenissin, I would venture to say that you are an anomaly in the Christian world. I hate religious conversation because it's generally a waste of time but, unfortunately, there is a reason people generalize about Christians being against everything related to freedom and choice. Most of your people take the bible literally instead of the guide that it was meant to be.
Sure they can. My girlfriend was married to a guy for 14 years before she met me. ^.~ (turned out he was actually a she, and was into guys, though, lol....) Her kids have no problem calling me Mom, either.... Oh the joys of kow-towing to the religious moral authority, and the pain it causes in peoples' lives... my partner and her ex are both much happier now.
A relokgious perdson deserves about as much respect as a member of the KKK.
I do feel the need to point out, though, that this statement is wrong, and probably somewhat offensive. There's absolutely nothing wrong with choosing to adhere to a faith, or to a religion, as long as you recognize that as a choice. And yes, I do feel that there's a distinction to be made between a Faith and a Religion. The question isn't so much what you believe, it's how you apply those beliefs, and how you treat others. A huge number of people experience a deeply spiritual and religious life without ever foisting those beliefs on those around them. As far as I'm concerned, there is exactly one rule that actually matters: do no harm. As long as you follow that rule, you have a right to believe whatever sits well with your conscience.
(and I should point out that I consider evangelism to be doing harm... if Yahweh wants to send me the word, there's a perfectly good bush in the back yard for him to set on fire... though I'm equally bothered by evangelical atheists, too. Live and let live, yeah?)

One reason i thought those actions against Mastercard etc. to be stupid was, that it established DDOS as method of protest. I am afraid, we will see more of this in the future. In my textbook, DDOS is neiter a legal nor a legitimate form of protest but a criminal act. It doesn't matter wether the target is Wikileaks, Mastercard or 4chan.

Yeah, because it's completely different than regular, old fashioned physical protests where a bunch of people march through the street, blocking traffic, the entrances to businesses and inconveniencing lots of other people in order to get attention.
That is also illegal, rightfully so, if you are blocking access to a business. That should be common knowledge. The SCOTUS already made that clear, that you can talk to people going in and out of the business, but you can't stop them from exercising their rights. An abortion clinic was the case the SCOTUS decided it on, but it applies to any business or organization.

I didn't assume that the "you" in the question was a public figure whom civilians might sincerely need to contact in an attempt to participate in the political process.
Corporations are also accountable to the public. They have large PR departments, mailing addresses, and people whose job is to read the mail that people send them (and even reply to some of it), determine and make recommendations of what actions would be most beneficial to their public image, and ideally let the company know quickly if something it did pissed a bunch of people off so that it can decide whether or not it wants to adjust its actions.

I agree with a lot you say, but you cannot make wrong right by doing wrong yourself.
We once hired a former top soccer referee as a guest speaker for an IT conference we organized. At first i was baffled: what could a referee tell us about IT decisions. Then he brought up this: He was a referee in an important match. There was a critical situation (penalty or not) and he decided against it. During the half time break he could see the TV input and learned he had been wrong. During the second half a similar situation appeared, but he thought it to be no penalty. He now could make up his mistake by giving the wrongly denied penalty now. In his speech explained, why this would have been wrong on several levels. In short: He would have rewarded irregular behaviour of the striker (by playing the dying swan) and put pressure on other referees to try also to make up for their mistakes. In the end, the balance would never be perfectly equalised. There would always be more compensation required.

If Gandhi would live today, do you think he would DDOS Mastercard? Even if you are angry you should be able to see, that you have thousand of legal actions available that he never had. They are bothersome, yes, and they will soak up your energy & time and you have to leave snail shell of anonymity, but they are available. Painting DDOS in civil disobedience colours is just a sluggards excuse. One thing Gandhi always did, when he was breaking the law: Saying here i am, i did this, come and arrest me (and they often did). If the DDOS'ler would do that too, we could start talking about civil disobedience. Right at the moment, they are just a lynch mob.
If you want to portest: come, do it, bear the consequences. I have quite some repect for Julian Assange (even if i do not agree in a lot of things with him). He knew what he did and what consequences it might bear. Those DDOS mob is just a disgrace to the IT.

That's more likely than you might think. It's even happened in then past when a bunch of 4chan users decided to copy, paste and execute some code they found posted on/b/. If they had known how to read said code, they would have realised that they were running a spambot, which served to post the code all over 4chan, while simultaneously DDoSing the site. What was funniest was listening to all of the/b/tards vow revenge against the perpetrators of such a heinous crime.
