In the last two months, dozens of anti-piracy groups, copyright lawyers and pro-copyright outfits have been targeted by a group of Anonymous Internet ‘vigilantes’ under the flag of Operation Payback. Operation Payback has been without a doubt the longest and most widespread attack on anti-piracy groups, lawyers and lobbyists.

A relatively small group of people, they are seemingly fuelled by anger, frustration and a strong desire to have their voices heard.
