More 'Anonymous' shenanigans

This past week the Hacktivist group Anonymous ran "Operation Payback" targeting companies that oppose internet piracy then later attacked Paypal for refusing to process Wikileaks payments. This attack on Paypal reportedly cost them 3.5 million pounds and collapsed their online infrastructure. The hacktivists believed that copyright should not be used on the internet and used this as the basis for who they attacked. Four members of Anonymous were found out and have been charged with conspiracy. Three of them have pleaded guilty to the charge while the other pleaded not guilty. Operation Payback had originally targeted those who opposed the use of the website Pirate Bay to download music for free. More on the subject at http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-20449474
