I don't think so. The important point is to get it discussed in the media. It's the media which acts as the main arbiter for public discourse. Politicians are more or less free to act as they wish so long as the media does not amplify the voice of dissenters. Actions which bring the voice of the people into the mainstream media are of use in bringing about change. Hopefully this public discourse can happen through debate alone, but if a legal but questionable method like a botnet that targets corporate greed is required to get the debate going (and/or provide impetus for change), then so be it.
