Im not sure if that particular whiskey is produced there, (and for the life of me cannot remember WHICH whiskey is produced in Duff), but im 99% sure that was the name of the location.
Wouldnt this at least take the edge off any claim? And wasnt there something recently about calling sparkling white wine ''champagne'' due to the region restriction. EG a location in France called champagne was kicking up a stink of anyone else producing a similar product and calling it champagne?
If i got sent a pay up letter for downloading this, id certaintly fork over the cashh. Who wants to be caught pirating a bieber... well anything! o.0 (runs to lock up kids computers)
Cant get the basics right? I know quite a few people working with the loic, i definatly know what im talking about.
As for being arrested, they actually have the argument of "i was hacked and put on a botnet" setup already. Difficult to prove they were doing it themselves.
So back to my point, and as others have pointed out, the loic is generally done from normal every day computers, some run under protection, i know many who do not. Frankly quite a few are hoping to get arrested for it, then it gives them a much better platform from which to protest.
What about wikileaks, they can no longer recieve donations for their site via two commonly used CC's. If you think this censorship is harmless and only effected the big bad Julian Asasnge, you are dead wrong.
You know thousands of people, not by just a ''hi bob'' as you walk past, but personally enough that they tell you of their finanical troubles? And you have time to post on a forum? Damn you must have at least 30 fingers there mate.
Did you consider phoning paypal? Perhaps organising something in a non-internet fashion?
Sometimes the lack of commonsense of trolls astounds me :s
Ahh just read your comment dan, well i have no problem not using the credit function :) Now to point it out to my fiancee haha. (And wikileaks thought it had a difficult time explaining things!)
Damnit, now i have to make a new bank account(my credit-debit card is visa, and they dont offer any others...) So mastercard is out as well, this is going to take some headscratching to figure out whats next lol.
Ok to those who keep insisting that this is risking lives. Get off your high horse, READ the damn documents, you show me where any of these risks someones life?
Not maybe, definatly, as in has put them in danger. Not "if it angers a country we could goto war", thats not valid reasoning, thats a failure on your diplomats to actually do their job.
Until then, try something new, get a real argument.
And as for charging him, ive seen the trumped up charges that were released today, arrest him, ill step up, many of us will, we will host everywhere, ill put my name to it.
Scare tactics wont bow us, you cannot stop us.
So grow up, grow a pair of balls, whatever it takes but learn to live with your own system. Dont blame us for showing it for what it is.

Re:
So your DDOS is by bot-netting? ACTUALLY thats generally used for spamming. This DDOS is performed by people willingly using their computer systems.
A DDoS is an automated way of achieving your "refreshing the page".
To consider a DDoS anything other than a form of protest, is a logical dead end. (there you go mate, fixed that for you)
