Hi Barrett,
The director Ben Eriksen will do the skype interview with you. His
style is very conversational so the questions below are just a guide.
He'll riff off the conversation with you into other areas too as he
thinks of things. Because our program is Australian based we're
particularly interested in WIKILEAKS, Operation payback and the HB
gary hack so Ben would like to pick your brains about these topics as
well.
Can we make a time with you to do a SKYPE interview? We're based in
Melbourne so any time between 9am-10pm is Ok for us.
Our skype name is
future.radical

Look forward to meeting you on Skype

What role does hactivism play in Anonymous activities?

How do you feel about hactivism as a form of protest?

What have been the most important acts of Anonymous hactavism to date and why?

Have you ever been embarrassed or ashamed by any Anonymous activities?

Given the spate of arrests around recent acts of hactivism (eg: Op
Payback) what is the future for Anonymous ops of this kind?

How anonymous is Anonymous?

Is Anonymous growing in power as a movement?

In terms of media coverage, what does the media NOT get about Anonymous?

What should the media be paying attention to re Anonymous in 2012?

What will Anonymous being paying attention to in 2012?
