You can't the the information from the DDOS'ed websites anymore. Which means a part of the web got unreliable and you prevent people accessing the information there. Which is basically the exact same thing you seem to be protesting against... I can't really see much of a difference between killing websites by DDOS or by doing so via state-censorship. Actually state-censorship might in some cases at least have some democratic legitimation behind it. You're killing the idea of a free web if you start attacking sites which have a different opinion from you - no matter the reason. I'm sorry - but I fight for information freedom even if people disagree with me. Which is basically the only point of information freedom anyway! And as mentioned already above - you don't need people for DDOS. Sure it's one way of DDOS'ing getting a lot of people to participate, but it's a lot easier doing that with a few dedicated people and a bunch of good scripts. There isn't really much of a relation between people taking part in the protests and the effect of it, but the major relation is people knowing internet technology more or less (or being able to afford more bandwidth). Basically censorship through the right of the stronger (just "stronger" in a technical sense). There is no message for Paypal except getting faster server or bigger bandwidth. They can't even tell if this are customers or just some random script-kiddies (and I would imagine the latter to be more likely!).[/quote]
