On this day, anonymous has managed to hack into the website of one once under the US Government's control: http://www.ussc.gov/. The hack seems to be in retaliation to Aaron Swartz death and reflects the anti-US views that the online community are slowing gaining through the abuse of power over trivial and small issues that have better been forgotten. It also appears to be linking to files relating to US built warheads.

Great job mega.co.nz

Well done Kim DotCom, and the rest of the MEGA team, give yourselves a clap on the back - Or you've probably already did.. What you've done will revolutionize content on the internet forever. Personally, I'm surprised, not at the interface and the design of the site [nice api's btw - very unixy] but by the fact that the New Zealand government allowed Mega to go ahead with their plans. That's a very good and clear indication to the American government that countries are slowly trying to rebel against them and to invalidate all attempts for the American government to seize control over offshore content.

New Zealand will be the home of our new website: Mega.co.nz - Powered by legality and protected by the law.

Aaron Swartz's death will not be in vain, since users from all over the world can share content with the knowledge that they won't be looked at, ever.. And so government agencies have no proof of data being shared online, and thus no legal consequences can be held to both the participants and MEGA..

However, personally,

Tribute to Aaron Swartz

Aaron Swartz was faced with serve and serious charges, for crimes that he did not commit nor did any parties involved wanted pressed - aside from the US government. Usually, I don't favor the opensource community for being so hypocritically closed minded, but in the case of a trivial matter of trying to release information from the public domain to the public from a private organisation, but like many people, I find this exposure posthumous. What really got me today was the fact that the US has dropped said charges - 50 years in prison. No-one really cared about this case before this event, possibly because of the exposure it had gotten. However - like other typical media sites, I'd like to congratulate Aaron, for co-creating the world's largest open social sharing site, and for co-creating RSS and for contributing to the opensource community. But whatever the US government had planned to attack the opensource community. They should stop.
