Madonna.com has been hacked

I dunno if this has already been mentioned but anyway...

"Madonna.com defaced as of 4:05 AM ET. Her new album was posted to the site LOL the guy who did it is on EFNET bragging about it"

This is absolutely great. At least someone is sending out a message. After all she was asking for it. Much, much better then uselessly ddosing the entire .tk domain.

Alirght this kind of stuff shouldn't be encouraged, but I can't think of anybody who wouldn't sympathize with the guy who did it.

I can, heard of Madonna?

I don't think her publishers are too impressed neither, neither are the webmaster, agents, and a whole lot of other people who get a slice of the $$$ you put in buying CD's.

Good Point. Absolutely would have liked to see their faces when they saw that. I still think this is absolutely hilarious and the guy who did it definetaly has my respect. Can't say much about the hacking, but the message is straight and clear.

It was replaced by this (see attached) which when you clicked on the various links lead to full downloads of various tracks, including her yet to be released album.

The record company has been flooding the p2p networks with dummy tracks of her saying "what the fuck do you think you are doing" when played, seems this was payback time.

/still Mrs Jones isn't complaining, she says it's a great album

i don't have a problem with artists flooding kazaa with false files. i think it's hilarious, and they're quite within their rights to do it. if we get to use the systems, they can undermine them, as far as i'm concerned. just don't take away the right to use them.

Absolutely, it's all part of the game right?

We chase files, they put obsticles in our way , we chase harder etc etc.

exactly - just like when napster got shut down, it just got replaced by something better. adversity only makes the systems better.

And a semi decent video for Madonna, even if he did steal the idea...

Yeah, but Snatch explained how to get rid of a corpse using only pigs. Never know when that information will come in handy.

snatch and lock stock were pretty dissimilar. they had some similar characters and a similar filming style, but that the same film does not make.
