Today the Feds raided the website MegaUpload, which led to the arrests of seven people across the globe, according to some reports. Now the Hacktivist group, Anonymous, has come forth in retaliation to the crackdown and launched an attack on several websites including The Department of Justice, Universal Music Group, and the Recording Industry Association of America. The wave of attacks is just the beginning and Barrett Brown, founder of Project PM, joins us to discuss whats next for the groups.

    • Is there any more strident example of our government waging war against the public and their civil rights, wearing the mask of DOJ in this instance? Why is our government spending OUR money suppressing our rights for the benefit of private commercial profits? Industry and commerce has always been more than capable of defending their own turf. Free market entails adaptation to market forces. The DOJ's actions are the height of a "Nanny State" nursing business at the expense of the public.

    • Thank you for keeping us up to date Vierotchka. It is encouraging that institutional predators of citizen rights are being informed that there are potential negative repercussions to their anti social predation.
