Pirate Bay case: Internet group attacks websites in "Operation Baylout"
Anonymous, the loosely defined online activist group most known for organizing mass protests against the Church of Scientology, has begun a campaign against the websites of entities associated with the prosecution in the Pirate Bay Trial, Wikinews has learned.
Termed "Operation Baylout", the group claims that hundreds of volunteers are taking part in coordinated efforts to jam the websites of the International Federation of the Phonographic Industry and MAQS, a law firm working with the prosecution in the Pirate Bay case. As of Friday evening MAQS's website read "Our website is currently under attack and we have therefore decided to shut it down until the attack ceases."
The group is also coordinating efforts to jam the fax lines of the MPAA's anti-piracy office and of prosecuting attorney Monique Wadsted.

Australians missing out on full sports coverage, media outlets say
Major media outlets have told an Australian senate committee on environment, communications and the arts that Australians are being denied full coverage of sporting events.
They have told the inquiry that major sporting organisations are restricting how photos and text can be used on the internet and other digital media, which is threatening the reporting of sport as news.
Sporting organisations have hit back saying that such online content is a big money earner for them. They say that the money earned from those rights gets invested in grassroots programs.
Australian Associated Press asked the committee to recommend legislation guaranteeing the right of news media cover major sporting events.
