Seriously this is disappointing. I'm getting better quality news and stories from "tabloid" websites such as The Register and The Inquirer now. Slashdot is starting to resemble a blog full of random ramblings than a good quality, reliable news source.
Virgin had no option but to comply with the court order that was issued. If they had ignored it, they would've been fined hundreds of thousands of pounds - probably even more than that.
I'm not a Virgin Media customer, but I understand that the block is trivial to swerve around, so Virgin Media have obeyed the letter of the law, but haven't made it particularly difficult to get around. Anyhow, DDosing a web-site is just lame.

I'm not surprised as GAME have been struggling for a while, and their bricks and mortar type stores were woefully outdated in this digital era.
If you're asked in an interview to provide your FaceBook login details, then ask everyone on the interviewing panel to do the same. And then go through their profile bit by bit, querying all photos and status updates. They'd soon change their ways.
But seriously, is this getting to be the normal thing to do in the USA? I've never heard of anything like this in the UK. It sounds horrendous.

There was an article on the BBC a while back about a similar thing with Hi-Viz jackets. In the UK - virtually anyone doing anything remotely hazardous (unloading trucks, security etc. etc.) seems to need a high-viz jacket for 'elf and safety reasons.
All you need to do is go to the pound shop, buy a hi-viz jacket and you could probably wander in and out of various buildings without security batting an eyelid
O2 screwed up by making what appears to be a school-boy error.
However, after they were notified of the fault, they admitted blame, fixed it quickly and told everyone what happened. It would have obviously been preferable if this leak hadn't happened in the first place, but I can't blame them for how they handled it.
