To you guys writing about DDoSing MarkMonitor: DDoS is a good start to keep the enemy busy and get some publicity, but we also need to plan ahead and attack the economics of internet surveillance itself. We need to realize that ever more software is going to monitor us in the future, and we cannot fire our DDoS cannons on everything suspicious. Neither can be blacklist all IPs we regard as suspicious. I hate to admit this, but we need to massively increase injection of fake data into the internet (such as fake IPs into trackers, fake torrents with phony data, or real torrents with mislabeled data etc.) and add many more computational challenges (such as decryption, directory lookups etc.) to make it slower and more computationally intensive to wade through all the fake information to find, assemble and decode the real information. This will not affect the economics for an end-user so much, who can afford to wait some time for his client software to number-crunch a bit to find authentic information according to individual taste, but for a company like MarkMonitor, it would impose massive computational challenges which would make mass-surveillance very expensive. I know, we all hate fake or mislabelled torrents etc. but we cannot play the takedown game ourselves. That is just ridiculous. We, if anyone, should know by now that it does not work. What we need is better algorithms in our client software that can filter out the fake information for us, and of course, better ion cannons that can fill the internet with lots and lots of fake “infringing” information.

Even though I’m all for File Sharers rising up against the oppressors. I can’t help but remember AOL Proggies when I see this “How to DDos Attack” can somebody say PUNT? [blast from the past]. It’s like training wheels for hackers or something.

Is anyone else suspicious to that fact that the us has bought them out? what does this mean, does it hint that something bigger MIGHT be happening? could it be connected to the attemp(already happening?) to procure control of dns?
