Several months ago, five of America’s largest ISPs (AT&T, Cablevision,
Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon), and God knows how many others
have in secret, signed a deal with the Hollywood Mafia. Under the guise of
"copyright protection", the ISPs have installed a tap for the Hollywood
Mafia, and will be engaging in denial-of-service (DoS) attacks against
their own customers.
These attacks will consist of "punishing" customers with various types of
well-known denial-of-service attacks, including slow page loading times (a
la Anonymous), click-through warnings and quizzes (a la "Win A Free iPod!"
spyware), and eventually a full termination of service.
The attacks, which they call "graduated response", begin this weekend.
All of this malicious and potentially illegal activity will be based on
mere allegations via neocon-style warrantless wiretapping.
What these "Mafia ISPs" fail to realize is the many ways they can be denied
financial health not merely through individuals, but through lawsuits from
commercial victims of the attacks. These include:
1. Lost business hours. Perhaps an employee is engaging in allegedly
infringing behavior during a lunch break, or the company has an unsecured
wireless network. (Nothing the IT department can do about all those
employees with slow Internet/being forced to take online quizzes!)
2. Loss of trade secrets. If one company’s computer (or someone from the
parking lot using an unsecure wireless network) is engaging in allegedly
infringing behavior, who knows which computer will be also affected? What
confidential activity will need to be explained to shareholders before
things have finalized?
3. Impediments in delivery of goods and services. It becomes even worse
when a contract guaranteeing delivery on a certain date is spoiled. (How
will this affect the global commodities markets?)
The “Mafia ISPs” should also be aware of:
1. Shared Internet connections and insecure wi-fi causing mistaken
denial-of-service attacks
2. Cloned or spoofed MAC addresses
3. Class action lawsuits by multiple businesses and individuals
4. Corporate policies
5. Shareholder communications
6. Nonprofits and charities which deal in sensitive issues (such as sexual
abuse, drug addiction, crisis pregnancy, counseling, child molestation,
domestic violence, rape, and the mentally ill)
By engaging in DoS attacks for only 7 companies (3 are not American),
damaging hundreds of thousands of businesses, and harassing millions of
American families (including minors), the "Mafia ISPs" (AT&T, Cablevision,
Comcast, Time Warner Cable, and Verizon, so far) have engaged in DoS
attacks against themselves – the "Mafia ISPs" are about to have their
businesses slowed down with legal claims, settlements, and class action
lawsuits from hundreds of thousands of companies.

SOPA is not dead.
Good Men who do ABSOLUTELY NOTHING
in the face of an Evil which has no justification
nor does it seek any have become its accomplice. PERIOD.
When the TRUTH becomes a Liability ALL PEOPLE become the Enemy.

liberty is sacrificed."

Next time you have to take off your shoes,
have your baggage rummaged through, while terrorists
can STILL purchase same-day one-way tickets in-cash with
no baggage thank the LIBs for making the world exactly what is is today.
Next time you have to go through
metal detectors to go into a building remember who did this...
Not just the LIBs, but the Shameless Retail Politico's who disgraced
their office and betrayed us all, who gladly, and proudly did unto their
own constituency, precisely-what they forbid us to do to our Adversaries.
LIBs. What PRICE their Vision?
