I'm not sure what moron got it into their head that packet-flooding, DoS or other such illegitimate, boorish and immoral uses of the Internet could be equated with "Civil Disobedience", but I'm not surprised to see so many ignorant people jump on the bandwagon.
What does surprise me is the "apparent" support and legitimization of such activities by/. and./ readers.
Come on, people! How would you feel if your ISP was drowning because some dimwitted nerd decided to pingflood a server hosted on their network?
What if you were the ISP? Or the IT/tech guys responsible for keeping the site up?
As it stands, their is a dispute in progress. Your attacks on etoys network/systems DOES NOT lend any legal sympathy to etoy.com!
If you want your voice to be heard, petition the court.
