  DDOS attacks are attacks on the very fabric of the internet. If you believe in the internet, you will not support those sorts of activities. This has a very real ramification for much of the subject matter of HN: The investment community needs to know that any iCompany can't be destroyed by some teenagers with a downloaded tool. Recall that the last freedom exercise was to try to suppress Gene Simmons' right to free speech (however stupid his opinions might be) by a DDOS on his servers, with all of the collateral damage that entails.

  No, your tax dollars go the lender of funny monies. Your "budget" -- aka more funny monies borrowed from the lender -- is what pays for this. Robbed, we are.

  Thats why taxes like robbery is done by threat of force. Otherwise no one would hand their money over to be wasted.
