    Hactivism as a process has a dual-edged character. The organised activity exposes the “transparency and accountability” (Diamond 71) of global power exploitation. However, such methods are seen questionable in the accountability and transparency of their practice(s). The main concern with hactivism is the preconceived notions of its values are translated offline as vigilantism.

    Remember when it was considered a mortal sin for a band to license¬¬¬ their music for use in an advertisement? Those days are long gone.

I truly believe that Grooveshark was initially moving in the right direction, or at least I believe there end goals were in line with where the industry looks to be going.
