Is Ministry of Sound rueing its decision to target alleged filesharers individually with legal letters demanding payment? It’s not been a good week for the company. Yesterday, its website was taken offline by a huge ‘denial of service’ attack, organised by the same online activists who’ve been targeting anti-piracy and music industry sites.
