YouTube targeted by pranksters in 'Porn Day' attack

YouTube has been forced to delete thousands of pornographic videos from its site after online pranksters from 4Chan flooded the service with sexually explicit clips disguised as regular content.

Members of the 4Chan message board, a well-known internet discussion forum, have claimed responsibility for the attack, which appears to be in retaliation to YouTube’s policy on removing or silencing copyright music videos unlawfully uploaded to the website by users.

Is this attack out of order, or fair game for YTs moderation policy?

Never even heard of 4chan before, there must be some of it's incumbents knocking around on ATS?

I guess I go on 4chan but then again I don't usually participate in raids and certainly not ones like this. Seemed out of line but damned funny.
