Say what you want about the guys behind The Pirate Bay, you still have to admit this is pretty damn funny.

The plan can be called a Distributed Denial of Dollars attack (DDo$). The plan is an away-from-keyboard DDoS attack. DDoS attacks involve lots of users overloading the victim with internet traffic damaging their ability to provide services. Money, instead of Internet traffic is used in this case. The victim is Danowsky’s law firm which represented the IFPI at the Pirate Bay trial.

Just realised, I'm racist to Russians. That make me a Neo-Nazi-Nazi?

Also just realised you can now edit. Hohum.

Brilliant yes, but still an utterly cuntish thing to do to a small law firm who no doubt got bunged a massive cheque and a big list of things to say.

I'm afraid that all that happens is that the people who work there but didn't/don't have any choice whatsoever in the clientèle will get fucked up and fucked over. The partner/s who make the decisions will be the last to leave and the poor plebs who inevitably will get hoop shafted by this don't deserve it. Simple as that as far as I'm concerned.

Hey if you play with the devil. You accept a large cheque and cry about consequences?
