Anonymous is a rogue, criminal operation. Hacking websites is illegal and ethically WRONG.
They're using it as a form of protest- while I'm sure it violates some sort of law, they don't just go around picking ANY website... they do this stuff to make a point.

Most people on Anonymous are in their late teens to early thirties. Lots of experience between them to hack stuff... and to be honest, many of them are far more intelligent than many posters in Politics/Other Controversies.

If they hacked a government web-site that and discovered that you were the target of surveillance by the government, you'd be singing a different tune.
I equate that to robbing a drug dealer: no crime has been committed.
Hacking...
Law enforcement arresting them is pretty futile when you consider how many people participate in this stuff and are intelligent enough to cover their tracks. A lot of those people write them off because they think they're all 15... which isn't true. To date I believe "law enforcement" has arrested less than 30 or so out of hundreds, possibly thousands of participants. Pretty low success rate if you ask me.
Anonymous does good things, I will post examples later.
All criminal enterprises such as Megaupload should be shut down. The owners should be prosecuted and the users of such sites should at least receive a warning from the FBI.
BS. Megaupload is as much a criminal enterprise as Youtube, Facebook, Google, or CDF for that matter. They hosted thousands of terabytes of legal content and complied with all DMCA requests and as such should have the protection of the safe harbor clause which protected Youtube from Viacom.
If our justice system works at all this will be overturned and MU will have a juicy civil suit.
