|  Simply amazing...
It is amazing how some people here view the DOS attacks and web defacements on the RIAA as good and yet view these attacks on Osirusoft as bad. In my mind, an attack is an attack, reguardless of who the target is. I am someone who thinks that DOS attacks and web defacements are dumb and the people behind these attacks should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

| The RIAA has done some "questionable" things in the past. What has Osirusoft done wrong?
Also, the Boston Tea Party, the American Revolution, the burning of draft cards, blocking the steps of the Supreme Court, etc. are also illegal and forms of protest. While someone might get arrested for it, they still have the right to protest. |

It all depends on your idea of "questionable". Abortion doctors being killed by assassins is a similar issue. To some people, they are bringing a service to the community. To others, death. Does that mean people have a right to shoot them because they find abortion doctors actions "questionable"? I don't think so.

I agree. Those people who have attacked or defaced sites like Osirusoft or the RIAA should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Illegal forms of protest are still just that....illegal.

Please...Using such an extreme analogy lends no justice to your argument. I don't think anyone here would equate the RIAA, Osirusoft, hackers, spammers or anyone else to an assassin. It is definitely NOT a similar issue.

But it is similar line of thinking. Same could be said about ultra religious people thinking that violent video games should be banned and DOSing online gaming servers. That would cause an uproar. I can dumb it down or get as simple as you would like, but it all boils down to the same thing. A crime is a crime. DOSing a site or hacking somewhere where you aren't supposed to be is a crime. Doesn't matter if it is against Osirusoft, the RIAA, online gaming servers, etc. That is the only point I am trying to make.
