[AusNOG] Film industry soliciting DDOS attacks?

[Phil Pierotti]

I am not even slightly a lawyer, but surely this behaviour is illegal by any sane definition of the word?

Is the Movie/Music industry literally playing the "my lawyers are funded by bigger pockets than yours, therefore we are above the law" card already?

At what point do ISPs take matters into their own hands and refuse to carry *any* packets which appear to be to/from businesses which in any way make money off or for these charlatans?

Interesting. Anybody know if they've been a victim of an attack started by
this mob and if so, if they originate the attacks from inside their own
ASN/IP space?
