RIAA website hacked. Over the weekend, some hacker-types took it upon themselves to delete the RIAA's website. [TorrentFreak]

What would have been better if they had put some illegally ripped music onto the home page.

Wow. How lamer can the RIAA get? That was such an easy kill.

RIAA has been hacked and defaced many times. I suspect it will continue perpetually.

@DallasDMD: Really?
By the 2nd time you'd think they'd get the clue.

Wait, how did they restore it? I hope they didn't have copies stored, because wouldn't that be a copyright violation?

user-pic

you can play with their site, but you can't make a copy and put it on your own webserver for personal use.

I normally don't advocate hacking a company's website. However, the RIAA is one of the few, if only exceptions to that rule.

@levenhopper: I agree. A link to a bunch of metallica torrents would have completed the hilarity.

user-pic

Yeah...instead of deleting everything, the hackers could have replaced all the content with illegally downloaded music!

Nah, if you really want to get on the RIAA's nerves, just post the Fair Use section of the copyright laws as their homepage.

They didn't actually delete the website but rather some of the press releases and stuff. I think they did it through a SQL injection, not really a hack. Almost as lame as the RIAA itself.
