Hackers, Madonna mix it up | CNET News.com
The hacker's attack appeared to be in response to Madonna's most recent, typically colorful broadside against file-swappers seeking free copies of her music. The singer has put files that appear to be versions of her new songs onto peer-to-peer networks that actually contain recordings of her saying, "What the f*** do you think you're doing?"
The hacked page, as sent to CNET News.com by several readers, had a message that read, "This is what the f*** I think I'm doing." It also contained what appeared to be links to the album's songs.
I guess they will not learn. You know if a bunch of geeks get together and say they are going to burn their CD's it does not mean the same thing as you think it does. Do I condone the methods of the hackers no, do I condone her methods, nope. But you antagonize a group they will fight back. What she did was the equivalent of starting a war (like in Iraq). And the enemy will fight back. If she did not want the site hacked she should not have fired the first shot.
