Protest I understand. And while you & I know that some silly DoS of a few random sites is pretty harmless, the average person thinks of this as some evil hacker thing.

I absolutely support protesting. I just want people to protest in a more effective way. Remember: ex-RIAA lawyers got top Justice Department spots a few years back. This is just the other shoe dropping. This has probably been in the works for quite a while now. Maybe the timing was hastened or something for political reasons, but I doubt they started this investigation yesterday.
