What do you know about this group?
They have threatened an attack to the SGAE: http://www.sgae.es/ and Ministry of Culture in Spain at midnight today. They both are already having problems…
They already done similar attacks in the US on Hollywood and record companies and stuff…
4chan org I’m just curious… is it a safe site to visit?
who are these people… ? acording to Wikipedia they are known, how can they get away with this? is it illegal to do this. As I say I’m just curious…
Since this isn’t anything that interest me, it;s not a place I’d visit.
Even though I don’t go by WOT ratings, the following makes me want to avoid that site:
http://www.mywot.com/en/scorecard/www.sgae.es
4chan is an imageboard and is perfectly safe to visit. You might find some of the content objectional, though.
Actually , sgae.es is the oficial website for"Pagina web oficial de la Sociedad General de Autores y Editores" in english the “Spanish General Societty for Authors and Editors” which is totally safe and it does not make sense that scan. Some of the comments on Mywot are by people upset by them, re: royalties, controlling the download of music, anti - piracy laws etc…
The ones planning the attack is 4chan.org and they already did one yesterday in UK: Ministry of Sound Silenced By Huge DDoS Attack

it seems they target many organism involved in music, and any cultural or movie industry/businness.
The new way of protesting???
It seems Anonymous uses 4chan as one of the paths to launch these DDoS attacks.
A short of new kind of revolucionaries… Interesting…

From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anonymous_(group)
Anonymous (used as a mass noun) is a label and Internet meme adopted within Internet culture to represent the actions of many online community users acting anonymously, usually toward a loosely agreed-upon goal. It is generally considered to be a blanket term for members of certain Internet subcultures.[1]
Actions attributed to Anonymous are undertaken by unidentified individuals who apply the Anonymous label to themselves.[2] After a series of controversial, widely-publicized protests and reprisal DDoS attacks by Anonymous in 2008, incidents linked to its cadre members are said to be increasingly common.[3]
Although not necessarily tied to a single online entity, many websites are strongly associated with Anonymous. This includes notable imageboards such as 4chan and Futaba, their associated wikis, Encyclopedia Dramatica, and a number of forums.[
