NZ Parliament DDoS a success: Anonymous

he hacktivist collective Anonymous said it has disrupted access to the New Zealand Parliament website to protest against the country’s new three-strikes copyright law.
In a message sent to media and posted on YouTube, Anonymous said it was “disappointed with many of [the New Zealand Government’s] actions” and that it won’t sit around watching people getting their Internet freedoms and rights taken away.
The Parliament site operational but access to it has been sporadic over the past two days.
Anonymous said it was protecting the citizens of New Zealand and sending a message to the Government in the form of a protest by attacking the website. The hacktivists said they will continue to take down the Government website unless the copyright law was repealed.
The new law that goes into effect in September assumed internet users who received infringement notices for downloading copyright-protected media were guilty.
After users received three notices they can be taken to the Copyright Tribunal by rights owners.
Account holders have to prove that they are not guilty of copyright infringement and, if they fail, face fines of up to NZ$15,000 ($11,000).

Law was unjust. Good on them for doing something useful.
I agree. Censoring and placing restrictions against internet freedom is definitely unconstitutional. They're even going as far as invading our privacy! What absurdity...
I'm against the censorship bill that was passed, but what is a DDoS honestly going to do in the long run. Maybe get a few of those involved in trouble, nothing really successful
I'm again censorship as well, i may not agree with the DDos Attack, as this justifys censorship to the old school. But i dont agree with censorship.
What a retarded law, I hope this doesn't start a trend in other countries
It is not possible to stop illegal Downloads, they always try it, but its impossible
Totally Crazy NZ laws!!! How the hell would you prove it!
Good post tho, didn't know anons was going at it!
+1, !
NZ laws are cray, censorship only censors the people will low tech skills, never stops the real rotton stuff.
Strange shit °_O
I would like to see how this pans out for them.
good going
Nice job, Anon.
If you fight you CAN loose. If you don't fight... you already lost. We have rights... fight for them!
hey good good good !
good article!
This copyright crap has to stop. The penalties are outrageous and the system for determining guilt is shady at best.
Good work Anonymous, whoever you are.
Go anonymous! Bring it down!
Good move on Anonymous. Never down with censorship.
Nice Work anonymous!
