They took down FBI,DOJ and a few others for litterally about 60 seconds. I was watching the live twitter feeds, they reported it down, it was down, they kept reporting it down but not even 2 minutes later they were back up no problem.
Sure these places are taking notice, but its really nothing more then a slight inconvenience, it was probably a relief for their IT staff as they actually got to do something for what they were getting paid for.
SOPA/PIPA being denied had to do more with big internet companies petitioning, people voicing their disgust, and the fact that they were naive enough to think someone wouldn’t notice how intrusive that bill was. Anon had nothign to do with its failure to pass
Like I said, I at one point supported anon, and still think it has potential to do some good, but at this point it seems to be nothing more then a buncha pissed off script kiddies
