re: #370 Fozzie Bear

They really are a lot like street protests, or as close as you can get on the internet. Its a crapload of people willingly congregating where they aren’t wanted, preventing legitimate commerce. That sounds a lot like a street protest to me.

Typically you need a permit to conduct a street protest. It also requires a police presence. Equating DDOS attacks to a street protest is equivalent to pro-life protesters blocking those seeking abortions into clinics. You are not allowed to block people from entering a site during a protest.
