“A writer’s notebook is not a diary. Writers react. Writers need a place to record these reactions. That’s what a writer’s notebook is for. It gives you a place to write down what makes you angry or sad or amazed, to write down what you noticed and don’t want to forget. A writer’s notebook gives you a place to live like a writer.” - Ralph Fletcher
Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
On Thursday afternoon, news broke that some of the biggest websites belonging to the US government and the entertainment industry were collapsing, one-by-one. The action, retaliation for a raid earlier that day on the file sharing service Megaupload, escalated over the course of hours and eventually crippled the websites for the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the US Justice Department and the Recording Industry Associate of America, among others.
But even if you weren’t trying to get a job with the FBI, browsing case records or checking sales stats on the new Justin Bieber EP, you might not know that several major entertainment and government websites were shut down.
That’s because even though thousands of hacktivists attacked the websites for the FBI, the US Copyright office, the DoJ and the RIAA — along with several other related sites — on Thursday, the mainstream media by and large were blind to a massive campaign launched by some very angry users of the World Wide Web.
