Not to put a damper on things, but how does this really hurt any of these groups? I might be able to buy something on Universal Music, but I'm not very likely too. The other sites are just business portals. All Anonymous really did was mildly inconvenience some low level employees trying to log into their corporate intranet. Meanwhile MegaUpload's still down and the owner's still facing criminal charges and decades in prison...

Exactly. How long can they possibly keep the DDOS up? These sites will be back up again before you know it. I don't think anyone will be inconvenienced if these sites go down for a few hours as it doesn't affect the functioning of the government. What a waste of bandwidth.

Here's some "accounting" for you:

MPAA has 6 members: Disney, 20th Century Fox, Universal, and these three, with a yearly operating income of...

Sony Pictures - $300 million
Paramount - $300 million
Warner Bros. - $845 million ... Google - $10.381 billion

Now THAT is what I call voting with your dollars

Do you realize that you have no idea about what you are talking? Anyone using LOIC is Anonymous. There is no hierarchy in there. There is no BOSS. No head-master, no sen-sei, no guru. Software for DDoS-ing is available with source code for inspection, to anyone, for any platform. It's open source, so no one 'controls' it. You can run DDoS attack by yourself, or with a group launch, following their IRC channel, and letting someone controlling attack, and pushing BIG RED BUTTON instead of you. Basically, you can't point to anyone specifically, and say: HA, he's the leader, grab him!

Btw, didn't you said yesterday you are using LOIC yourself? :/
