HACKERS WITH A CAUSE Anonymous will team up with Team Poison for a new yet old kind of protest, the protest song.
Teaming up under the banner Team Poisanon the two groups have promised to dominate the pop charts, or well, Itunes and Youtube views, with a ditty that they expect will flood the world and make lots of money for charity.
The song, they explain, will not only raise awareness of their causes but will also force the mainstream media to wake up and acknowledge them and the bad things that corporate business does.
"We have entered into a brave new world. Activists have now turned to the Internet and social media to spread their cause only to be censored by the various social media outlets we use on a daily basis," they wrote in a joint statement that introduces Opcensorthis.
"The powers that be are trembling because we are reaching thousands of people without using the mainstream media.The mainstream media is forced by corporate power abuse into censoring the truth, and in some cases, are bought out by governmental entities in order that they continue being financially supported by these corporate sponsors."
The protest song is nothing new, of course, and it is fitting that these modern protesters adopt it for their causes.
"Long have activists and revolutionaries turned to a song to get their message out. Anonymous and TeaMp0isoN have collaborated together to continue this tradition. We are going to take youtube and iTunes by storm and flood the song into the world around us, with proceeds going to charities that are actively striving to change it," they explained.
"Once this hits the charts, radio stations will by law, have to play it. Will they thwart the law to continue making sheep out of the people? If they censor the song we will attack the music industry and censor them instead."
So far apparently just a beat has been settled on, and we can only hope that it consists of more than someone repeating the word Nyan over and over. It is possible that they will turn to one of their preferred rappers for the vocals, including Common who they defended in their hack against Fox, or Darkspline who rapped over the Love Boat theme to give Lulzsec its official anthem. µ
