Anonymous Operation Goya: anti-’Sinde’ law
p2pnet view P2P | Freedom:- Sunday, February 13, will be interesting for people in Italy and Spain.
It’s the date set by Anonymous for OPERATION ITALY SURPRISE/SURPRISE— #OPITALY to let Italian president and serial sex offender Silvio Berlusconi know his days of ruining Italy are all-but over.
It’s also the date set by Anonymous to help the people of Spain launch a DDOS attack to protest the “Sinde Law”, intended to “close any web page which they considered illegal without the need to go through a judge”.
Behind the ‘law’ are Hollywood and the Big 4 record labels, fronted by Ángeles González Sinde (right), Spain’s minister of culture.
Article 158. Commission on Intellectual Property gives the culture ministry the power to close down sites accused of copyright infringement without a court order.
ISPs would also have to hand over the names and information of alleged file-sharers, also without court order.
The problem (apart from the obvious) is: Sinde’s connections with the corporate music industry.
She’s the ex-president of the Cinema Academy.
Now, “Once again, we at Anonymous Spain, are forced to ask for your help regarding a subject that affects us in Spain directly”, says Anonymous on Anon News, continuing >>>
On January 16th, 2011, we asked for help from Anons around the world, to participate in a DDoS attack as a sign of protest against the “Sinde Law”, which is intended to close any web page which they considered illegal without the need to go through a judge.
The Senate vote for this law was planned for the 23rd of February, 2011, but without any warning, the 8th of February (15th Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of the CyberSpace) it was announced that the “Sinde Law” would be voted the next day, the 9th of February, 2011, taking everyone by surprise and jeopardizing our capacity to react.
This particular law, thanks to a deal between the Government (SP) and the opposition, has been aproved in the Senate, and must be now voted in Congress, in about 4 weeks, aprox. All our protests, demonstrations, DDoS attacks have been in vain. There has been no acceptance of dialogue, there has been no acceptance of what we have suggested.
The Goya Cinema Academy Awards will be celebrated on Sunday 13th in Spain. This Academy has clearly shown their support of this law, and we believe that it is itself entirely corrupted. In short, they are using public money in their own interest, diverting public subsidies, at the pleasure of an also corrupt Ministry of Culture.-
On February 13th hundreds of us will attend the Goya awards, and invade the red carpet as a sign of protest against the Sinde Law with our masks and suits.
A DDoS attack has also been scheduled against the Cinema Academy website. A lot of us will be in our way to the Goya Awards ceremony and we will leave the LOIC in HIVE MIND mode, but our strength will be weakened because of that.
We need your support. We need the strength of Anonymous in order to defy the government tirany, and to defy a law that doesn’t benefit anyone except for the government itself, and those governing us. We need your help.
The atack has been scheduled for Sunday 13 of Feb of 2011 at 16:00h (GMT+1)
but will start at about 16:20h aproximately.
The channels where this will be carried out and organized are #Hispano for Spanish speaking Anons and #Leysinde for English and French speaking Anons, and those speaking other languages, around the world.
“Now more than ever we must show them that we never forget, we never forgive, we are legion”, says Anonymous, adding:
” We need your support, please do not leave us stranded. Lets give them the awards that they deserve!”
