    And exactly what law are you talking about? The one that is not written yet?
    The one that presumably has been written but not yet published, the one that is not being presented to my representatives to debate or vote on, the one that early drafts suggest is threatening to the free-flow of information online, the one that is being rushed into law with no transparency and under suspicious secrecy.

    That law.
    Until then I'll keep working on fixing the problem before it starts.
    What are you planning that will bring as much media reports as this planned act of civil disobedience?

    Surely making the majority of the public aware of what's going on is the primary concern, this will do just that.

    And the best time for civil disobedience is preemptively. I'd rather strike when the issue can be avoided than let the target get further out of reach.

    I'm not suggesting DDoS is the best option, it could do more damage than good but in the grand scheme of things public awareness is a priority and a DDoS will probably get into the papers.

    To all who don't really know wether or not the sites are down firsty try pinging them from command line.

    Secondly use a service such as http://www.downforeveryoneorjustme.com to get a second opinion.

    Not sure if justice.ie is a valid address, www.justice.ie is online though, seems like a bit of a fail there by Anon.

    Considering it's DDoS then it's gonna go up and down all night, depends on those who are participating in the attacks.

    Don't expect it to be down and to stay down for 24 hours or such...

    Well a substantial DDOS would cause the server to crash and then the site would stay offline until somebody restarts the server.

    True but considering that Ireland is a smaller country I'm sure someone is watching over that server 24/7 in the DC therefore restarting it, it did go offline but after a while it came back up.

    Most of these sites would have firewalls to react when a DDoS begins and ends.

    The server is probably still operable even if it's not accessible from our end.

    Web based Ddos is nasty. Quite difficult to defend against since it often just looks like normal user requests.
