Hackers are preparing to raise the stakes in their next assault on anti-piracy organizations after they crippled the website of the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (Afact) on Tuesday.
Users on Internet Relay Chat (IRC) boards and 4chan are nominating new victims for distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks under a campaign dubbed 'Operation Payback'. Among the suggestions for targets are the corporate email servers of anti-piracy organisations.
BitTorrent monitoring service NG3Sys has also been nominated for attack for its role in assisting law firm ACS:Law target UK users who downloaded copyrighted pornographic content.

Just In
While I am no pro-pirate supporter I also have no love lost or sympathy for the Media industry nor the Legal System that has prostituted itself to big media.
With the exception of a very few globally known big name artists, it is the Media Giants whom the piracy actually hurts and not the artists since the artists are seldom paid more than a pittance for the efforts. More and more artists are finding success from self-producing and self-promoting thru the use of the internet and by embracing the digital age.
Big Media or Mob Media as I like to call them are reaping the rewards of the acts they have sown over the past several decades. For decades they overpriced all forms of disc based media from the CD to the DVD to the point of going past being merely greedy. The price of a CD album never went down even after it became so cheap to burn you own where you could get banks for pennies. The ?It?s a high quality Disc? is nothing but a line used by the Big media companies to justify their inflated prices.
Big Media is reaping what they sowed and so its hard to find any sympathy for them or any fault in those who have found a way to fight back for much of the highly questionable actions these conglomerates and their law firms have taking these past few years. The fact that they are unwilling to see how realistic this threat is to them just show how arrogant or incompetent they are. While they won?t be getting help from me, these grass roots ?strike back at big media? campaigns will find far more support and help on their end then what Big media could ever hope to buy.
If I owned a record label or studio I?d jump the big media ship, find a way to embrace the digital age and start working with these people on a way to distribute my content at a fair price then to continue fighting a losing battle. The first media companies who take this kind of step are going to be the winners in the end for they will be the media pioneers of the digital age.
