I can't wait until Anonymous starts sending infringement notices in bulk. Cutting off people's Internet access based on a few random threats is a pretty obvious denial of service vulnerability.
- marcamillion 15y agoThis is actually quite brilliant. It turns the DDOS model on it's head. Rather than cut off the web site, you cut off the visitor. That's crazy scary!
- kragen 15y agoPresumably only large copyright-holding organizations like ASCAP (or members of the RIAA and MPAA, sometimes known by the collective acronym MAFIAA) will be allowed to send infringement notices, not anonymous people.
- nitrogen 15y agoPresumably only the legitimate owner of a website is allowed to alter its content, or send e-mail originating from its domain, not anonymous people. (Apologies for the potentially-mocking structure of my response; I intend only to point out that, when hacking is on the table, identity can be forged)
- kragen 15y agoPresumably. No apologies necessary.
