Anonymous Fights Back! Anonyupload is a go!

That's right folks Anonymous has replaced megaupload with Anonyupload. Anonymous is leading the revolution to fight for our internet rights. As governments of the world attempt to clamp down on internet rights all internet users shall fight back! We shall not surrender! We cannot surrender! No matter who in what political party in any country tries to censor the internet we must be on constant alert and they must be stopped. That being said here's the link to http://anonyupload.com/

all they are doing is providing FTP servers for people to share files. If there is any "illegitimate" activity it comes from the user.

That is my first thought.

Who knows who anyone claiming to be "Anonymous" is? My great aunt Fanny could claim to be Anonymous, who's to prove her wrong?

think eschewing the link might be the smart thing to do.

If anyone can claim to be Anonymous, what's to stop the FBI or any other three-letter (or less) agency from so doing?

But it should be fun in the intrim.

Central servers were always a bad idea for this sort of free and open sharing.

Megaupload was at least responsive to a take down request. I can't imagine Anonymous having the same concerns. Do they have the time or will to dig through the emails from legitimate artists whose product is being given away for free?

I doubt it.
