How to Deface Web Sites Without Getting In Trouble

But emo-hip hop crew Atmosphere, as part of a promotion for its new album -- of course -- are letting average-Joes deface property on the Internet. The Web-based (no download necessary) tool gives you virtual markers, spray cans, and stencils to help you create your masterpiece.
Sure, the Tag the Web tool won't suddenly make you as cool as Banksy, but it's fun to use, and once you're done you can share your creation with others on the Internet. Don't miss the the 'Tag the Web gallery,' where you'll find some truly impressive renditions of Web pages augmented with virtual spray-paint and stencils.

I am amazed that you don't think it irresponsible to publish this article which clearly is meant to show people how to do harm, and get away with it. Free speech means that people have a right to their opinion e.g their website and inherently the right not to have their views, no matter how angry it makes some else "defaced.". We all have urges to shut the other guy up from time to time when they say something offensive to us. Yet, no sane person would think of literally disfiguring them to vent their anger. For, morality aside, if we acted on these impulses, we would rightly be arrested.
Ultimately, to teach someone how to deface someone else's website is to teach them how to act in a cowardly way since by doing as you suggest, they can avoid detection, and therefore accountability and the consequences of their actions. Like a punch in the nose for example, or jail time.

Kay, before you typed all that you should have gone and looked at the web site they are talking about. It's just a fun promotional tool that lets you "tag" a >>copy

of the web page of your choice. Nobody's teaching anybody how to do anything that will offend you. Think before you post!

I suppose there will be no objections if someone uses this advice to deface THIS website? Hmmmm...

Terrence, I don't want to be a naysayer, but I've seen a couple people use this tool and it did actually make them suddenly as cool as Banksy. They also are more youthful, embiggened in all the appropriate places, and have a lustrous coat.
It's really amazing.

So I'm one of the unlucky few who didn't score his own gallery show after playing with this? Damn.
