Anonymous is branching out. This rainy morning in Tokyo, 50 or so masked men and women are converging on Miya****a Park, garbage bags in hand, to join Operation Japan’s Anonymous Cleaning Service — picking up litter in one of Tokyo’s busiest districts in equal parts public service, protest, and PR campaign. The event is the Japanese group’s first public demonstration, and it’s using the occasion to speak out against recently-passed revisions to the country's copyright law. The changes criminalize illegal downloading (http://www.theverge.com/2012/6/21/3105758/japan-illegal-downloads-criminal-offense), and would see the country’s ISPs begin monitoring internet traffic for suspicious activity. Today's event follows a series of DDoS attacks (http://www.nikkei.com/search/article/?DETAIL_STYLE=0&ORD_KIND=kdt_DN&bi=2012%2F07%2F07&bj=2007%2F07%2F07&bu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di=ATCSF11&dj=158992aa3f4efa13dde6a2c9f1f9fa7ca73fd&h=1&ng=DGXNASDG0602A_X00C12A7CC0000&searchKeyword=ddos) last week on the websites of the country’s two major political parties, various government ministries, JASRAC (Japan’s equivalent to ASCAP), and the Japanese supreme court.

Doing good for everyone to get publicity is something I can support.
