Viewpoint: V for Vendetta and the rise of Anonymous.

By Alan Moore

On Saturday protests are planned across the world against Acta - the 
Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement. The treaty has become the focus of 
activists associated with the Anonymous hacking network because of 
concerns that it could undermine internet privacy and aid censorship.

First published in 1982, the comic series V for Vendetta charted a 
masked vigilante's attempt to bring down a fascist British government 
and its complicit media. Many of the demonstrators are expected to wear 
masks based on the book's central character.

Ahead of the protests, the BBC asked V for Vendetta's writer, Alan 
Moore, for his thoughts on how his creation had become an inspiration 
and identity to Anonymous.
