some of you are losing some of your bandwidth 'contributing' to these DDoS attacks

nope we aren't.

The attack works by having no real return address.

they send off a syn/ack packet to say we have recieved your request. but it never finds a pc at the other end so it has to wait a certain time before it gives up.

do this lots of times and no one can use the site.

That is a type of Denial-of-Service Attack, but not neccessarily a type of DISTRIBUTED Denial-of-Service Attack.

A DDoS attack may use that form, or it may just be a brute-force bandwidth flood attempt.

Distributed means it's being launched from multiple locations at once and targetting 1 location.

Anyone that believes they are not responsible is in denial.

First, I believe they knew that the folks at Fast Track Movies were going on vacation as I believe there was mention of this in their forum.

Second I have now noticed the intense spam being directed at certain News Groups to stop the release of MR2.

Last I think someone such as Fast Track should bring this into court, why wait for them to hit the wrong target, as there is no proper target, or one that should be open game for any reason. If a site has illegal content there are avenues to legally deal with things in that manner. In addition if it was brought into court, win or lose, they will look like assholes as the media is a bitch. I am also waiting for someone to leak forward admitting they are doing this on their behalf, mark my words it will happen. This is a dangerous game they are playing as they are on the wrong side of the fence and when it becomes public they will get EATEN up.

i wish i knew how to make this come about but maybe we can start up a campaign where we gets millions of people not to buy anything music or movie related on a certain day. then these riaa and mpaa fucks wil see what happens when we as a collective force show them how much they are losing and how much they will lose if everyone decides to boycott buying any music or movie media. they'd probably shit themselves.
