War

'The U.S. De­part­ment of Justice shut down MegaUp­load.com, one of the world’s largest file-shar­ing web­sites, on Thursday after char­ging the site and its ex­ec­ut­ives with vi­ol­a­tion of pir­acy and copy­right laws.'



'Hackers aligned with the global cyber-collective known as Anonymous have claimed responsibility for taking down at least six prominent websites, including those of the US Department of Justice and Universal Music Group, in retaliation for charges levied earlier Thursday against content-sharing site Megaupload.com.'




The title of this blog post summarises  what is happening now. A war.

This war does not only take place in the physical world which our feet stands on, LOL.

A war on the Internet. People express discontent by using 'violence' like hacking websites.

Internet, World Wide Web. What do they stand for?

Is it equals to Free Knowledge as coined by Wikipedia?

Or does it equate to Piracy and Copyright Infringement?
