I don't think either a corporate entity or another instance/software type is behind this. The motivation for these people is the same as those who used to post a certain image with the word 'goat' as part of the title all over usenet binary groups and web forums. They simply find it funny that so many people are appalled and they feel a sense of power that they've affected so large a community. There's nothing more complicated than that to it.
