IA is one of those rare organizations that have an incredible online reach and notoriety but aren't backed by a trillion dollar corporation. Taking them down is easier compared to other sites with the same amounts of traffic, while still providing a lot of publicity. Another example would be Wikipedia, however most of their content is plain HTML and easily cacheable too. The IA has a lot of heavy media; videos, old software, photo's, etc not even mentioning the ability search over all those millions of pieces of content. It seems like a prime target for this kind of pubilicty stunt.
