LYCOS DDOS Causes them to be blackholed

[RawAlex]

Anthony, here is a question:

if the people who push things like gator say "people downloaded it knowingly", coudln't Lycos say the same thing? Is there any restriction to what an end user can do with their individual computer? Is it DDOS or is it just an end user system that keeps the most current page in memory for major important ecommerce websites?

Think it through.

(I think it is DDOS, but it all depends on how you look at it).
