Anonymous has recently posted a rather entertaining robot voiced video message on Youtube threatening to once agan take down and destroy SONY's network for supporting the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA). Another shut down of the Playstation Network (PSN) like the one earlier this year is bound to bring in a lot of headache to many PS3 users.
Here is the full text of their threat:
"Hello, SONY.
We are Anonymous.
It has come to the attention of the Anonymous activist community that you have chosen to stand by the Stop Online Piracy Act. This act will halt online businesses and restrict access to many sites for many users. Supporting SOPA is like trying to throw an entire company from off a bridge. Your support to the act is a signed death warrant to SONY Company and Associates. Therefore, yet again, we have decided to destroy your network. We will dismantle your phantom from the internet. Prepare to be extinguished. Justice will be swift, and it will be for the people, whether some like it or not. Sony, you have been warned.
To those doubting our powers. We've infiltrated the servers of Bank of America, The United States Department of Defense, The United Nations, and Lockheed Martin. In one day.
For their approval to SOPA, we have also declared that our fury be brought upon the following persons. Justin Bieber. Lady Gaga. Kim Kardashian. and Taylor Swift.
Operation Blackout, engaged.
Operation Mayhem, engaged.
Operation LulzXmas, engaged.
We are Anonymous.
We are Legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
Supporters of SOPA, you should've expected us."
It seems that if they are successful at taking down the SONY PSN once again, then they might go after other SOPA supporters, EA and Nintendo comes to mind. So If you have a PSN account, now would be a good time to change your password and personal details such as your credit card information. However, the bottom lines still remains; SOPA may be awful, but does this cowardly self righteous approach really change anything or does it only make things worse for everyone else? After all, Without the Internet, Anonymous is nothing.
Here's the original Youtube video of the threat being read by a robot voice.
