Operation:
Payback is a Bitch.

To whom it may concern;

This is to inform you that we, Anonymous, have for the last few days been involved in an Operation
called "Payback is a Bitch".

This was begun in retaliation for denial of service attacks perpetrated by AIPLEX against The Pirate
Bay's servers on behalf of the RIAA (Recording Industry Association of America) and the MPAA (Motion
Pictures Association of America). Anonymous has successfully engaged in its own DDoS against AIPLEX's
servers and has expanded its operations against the MPAA and the RIAA, which at the time of writing were
also unreachable.

Anonymous is sick and tired of these corporations seeking to control the internet in their pursuit of
profit. Anonymous cannot sit by and do nothing while these organizations stifle the spread of ideas and
attack those who wish to exercise their rights to share with others. Anonymous will not just watch while
others are attacked. Their servers have been shut down and they will remain so for as long as there is no true
freedom of information and data. These successful attacks on MPAA and RIAA's servers shall continue. An
injury to one is an injury to all.

Anonymous,

We are legion.
We do not forgive.
We do not forget.
