I don't see the point of this kind of actions. The only inconvenient they cause is taking the site offline a few hours, and the most affected one is the IT manager/team who has to mitigate the attack and bring the server back up. DOJ will not see this as a threat.
Also, this kind of "protests" is too violent, going like this: "I don't agree with you -> I take down your site". It's not a civilized reaction.

- scarmig 15y agoWell, I don't buy into the strategic effectiveness of shutting down the DOJ website, but didn't the DOJ/Universal/the RIAA just do the same thing? There are of course laws that say one side (the one who makes the laws) has the right to take down sites and the other doesn't, but the justness of those laws is an entirely different question.
- gjulianm 15y ago"An eye for an eye ... ends in making everybody blind." The fact they're taking down webs does not automatically legitimate us to take down their pages. Also, they've the right to take down MU cause it is (or should be) a judicial process, not some arbitrary decision made by a group of people.
