It will be interesting to see how things pan out. Everything Anonymous is doing is red rage to a bull to the FBI, police, governments, etc. They (the FBI, police, governments, etc) wont and can't take this lying down, and they are be going to try and add more controls to the net to try and stamp out all behaviour they see as undesirable.

If they (the FBI, police, governments, etc) win this battle, the net will become an increasingly controlled environment - controlled by governments and corporations, and even more fun and freedom will have been sucked out of the world.

If they (the FBI, police, governments, etc) lose, then they will have wasted billions of tax payer dollars.

It sure will be interesting to see how things pan out.
