Today the war offi­cially began.  Those in the know tech­no­log­i­cally speak­ing have waited for the day when the dis­par­ity between knowl­edge and igno­rance finally was torn open.  With the pro­posed leg­is­la­tion of SOPA and PIPA, a can of worms has been opened.  The peo­ple have spo­ken, and are fight­ing to keep the inter­net open.  Then the DOJ shuts down a site I had not heard of before today: MegaU­pload.  The result is the begin­ning of the biggest thing I have wit­nessed in my life… the day the inter­net struck back.

Anony­mous, hav­ing promised for quite some time that they would defend the free­doms of the inter­net, struck back.  They took down the MPAA, Depart­ment of Jus­tice, FBI, RAII, etc.  It’s a blood bath.  Those orga­ni­za­tions will be forced to fight now.  Peo­ple will be polar­ized in regards to whether they sup­port SOPA or not.  How­ever, the infor­ma­tion age is finally fully upon us… and I’m bet­ting on the Hackers.
