In protest of a lawsuit against the file-sharing company LimeWire, the decentralized community of hacktivists known as "Anonymous" briefly knocked the website of Warner Bros. Records Inc. offline on Monday.
Warner Bros. Records and 12 other record companies are seeking $400 billion to $75 trillion in damages from LimeWire after the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) won a court battle with creators of the software over claims of copyright infringement.
The Warner Bros. Records' website was targeted by a distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack Monday as part of an online campaign known as "Operation Payback."
