We Anonymous are launching our largest attack ever on government
 and music industry sites. Lulz. 
The FBI didn't think they would get away with this did they?
 They should have expected us.

The day after the SOPA/PIPPA blackout protest on the Internet.

an amusing fact : it seems that Lamar Smith, who filled SOPA proposing the law isn't properly crediting the photo he uses on his campaign site, and therefore could be taken down under the law he is proposing.

Thanks to the priorities of our ever-busy lawmakers, we now have "SOPA Math":

Illegally download Michael Jackson song = 5 years in jail;

Kill Michael Jackson = 4 years in jail.
