Pirate Bay Criticizes Anonymous' Attack On Virgin

Posted by timothy on from the leave-that-virgin-alone! dept.

judgecorp writes "Anonymous launched a DDoS attack on Virgin Media, apparently in protest at Virgin's decision to block the Pirate Bay. Now the Pirate Bay has criticized Anonymous, saying it doesn't support DDoS as a form of protest. The statement is interesting, given that Anonymous has been attacking music industry sites and other targets for some years, saying it is in support of the Pirate Bay."

    So don’t fight them using their ugly methods. DDOS and blocks are both forms of censorship

    Well ain't that cute. But they're wrong.

    Censorship is a weapon used by the government against its people. Even if some people would be performing the exact same act (null-routing ip ranges, or nx'ing a domain name), it still wouldn't be censorship.
