Actually, I'd disagree with you both. Terrorism is "the systematic use of terror especially as a means of coercion". The uploading of things to FTP sites is ***IRRITATING***; the only terror comes in is fear OF YOUR OWN GOVERNMENT. Arguably, it is the government in question that is the terrorist. I think the proper phrase would be *guerrilla warfare*, "irregular warfare, especially by a member of an independent unit carrying out harassment and sabotage." Abbie Hoffman was noted for his skill at it.
