Hackers delete sections of the RIAA website

Earlier today, Sunday, the site of the let’s sue infringing college kids-happy Recording Institute of America (RIAA) was hacked clean.

The site is back up now ,but for the few hours it was down, all the pages looked like the grab TorrentFreak took, and we replicate here.

From where I sit, my hunch tells me that a hacker, or hackers, did this in retaliation for RIAA’s aggressiveness in detecting incidents of copyright infringement of recorded music- and then going after thousands of those infringers.

This act brings forth stereotypes on both sides.
