Eat this RIAA (or, the war has begun?) - Why not all ISPs?

Thu Aug 22 04:36:29 UTC 2002

Start now, do whatever it takes.

Amongst the paperwork passed to congress, RIAA must have indicated where
it's hackers would work from. Why not start there?

NANOG should not sit on this.

Trust me, if RIAA tried to function without email and internet access for a
day or two I think they would get the message.

And what IPs precisely are you planning to deny? So far its all idle
threats, we have no idea where they plan to launch their scans or hacking
attempts from, or even if they have any clue how to hack anything. I
highly doubt they'll be attaching riaa.com to it either.

I suppose if you want symbolism, you can host -l riaa.com and wack their
wcom webserver and other stuff at att, but I'd harly call that
productive.
