This kid didn't control a botnet. He sent a handful of megabytes of data down his residential connection.
He had the functional impact of a single person at a sit in. No, realistically even less.
- InclinedPlane 15y agoIf he had gone to say the paypal homepage and diddled around all day then he would have had the same impact as a sit-in. Instead he simulated the traffic of thousands of people. That's not comparable to a sit-in.

You don't participate in a sit in by using the amount of resources that a single person might normally reasonably use. I suggest you read this article, since I am beginning to suspect you are operating under a very very distorted definition of the term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sit-in http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sit-in
