Anonymous petitions U.S. to see DDoS attacks as legal protest

Anonymous petitions U.S. to see DDoS attacks as legal protest

Dara Kerr, CNET:

It’s hard to imagine a group that adheres to anarchic ideology would want its actions legalized under U.S. law. But that is exactly what Anonymous is doing.

The loose-knit group of hackers submitted a petition to President Obama this week asking that distributed denial-of-service attacks be recognized as a legal form of protest.

The petition, which is posted on the White House’s “We the People” Web site, claims that DDoS attacks are not illegal hacking but rather a way for people to carry out protests online.

If I had been drinking something when I read this, I probably would’ve started choking.

Steven Seagal ‘Will Not Accept Role’ of Animal Abuser; Accused of Killing Dog on Reality Show

Steven Seagal ‘Will Not Accept Role’ of Animal Abuser; Accused of Killing Dog on Reality Show

The International Business Times:

A Phoenix man says Steven Seagal is responsible for the death of his dog, who was shot and killed after the “Under Siege” actor drove a tank into the man’s home while filming a scene in the reality show “Steven Seagal: Lawman.”

Jesus Sanchez Llovera was the subject of a raid filmed for the show, an A&E series that chonicles days in the life of Segal as a volunteer reserve deputy sherrif. Llovera’s home was raided on suspicion he was running an illegal cockfighting ring.

Llovera alleges that one of the sherrif’s deputities who participated in the destructive raid (not Seagal himself) shot and killed his dog, and has filed a $25,000 claim against the sheriff’s office for humiliation, emotional distress and property damage. He has also demanded a written apology from the actor.
