 In September 2010, Girish Kumar, the founder of Aiplex Software, admitted to using distributed denial of service attacks against known and suspected copyright violators, including some large-profile P2P sites.This resulted in the company's servers as well as those of the MPAA and RIAA suffering a DDoS attack themselves.The attack was launched by Anonymous, coordinated through IRC; the participants have willingly given control over their LOIC to the IRC, forming a voluntary botnet in order to overpower their targets.
