Do we download all that we can now... or do we pray that Anonymous stops them?
I suggest download all that you can now. A bunch of hackers with very limited resources can't stop a government who has way more resources than the hackers do.
Anonymous picks up garbage to protest Japanese download laws
...hacktivist group Anonymous has suddenly become a proponent of litter removal in Tokyo, Japan. Yes, it's a publicity stunt, but at least it's a passive one: on Saturday morning, approximately 80 masked men and women participated in Operation Anonymous Cleaning Service. The goal of the PR move was simple: to protest Japan's recently-revised laws for illegal downloading.
This is the first event that Anonymous Japan has ever hosted. Changes to the country's copyright law, made on June 20, have brought some of the group's members out of their homes and into the streets, garbage bags in hand.
The updated legislation means Japanese ISPs have to begin monitoring Internet traffic for suspicious activity. Furthermore, illegal downloads of copyrighted music and movies are punishable by up to two years in prison. Anonymous argues the revised law will send many innocent people to jail for "just one click," a concept which is driving Japan's youth to seek ways of fighting back.
So much for freedom for there is so little time to exist from the world governed by power who takes all the gifts n treasures all to themselves n offered them back to many for a price...
