Do they have any idea what kind of strain that would put on the internet backbone? Most DoS attacks are launched by a few hundred client machines, but the RIAA funded attacks could be server based, attacking more than a dozen p2p networks at once. That has a real possibility of slowing down the entire internet. (Tell me if I'm just being paranoid.)
What if Bill Gates said he wanted to do the same thing? He would be crucified, yet when a politician proposes legal DoS attacks people actually take him seriously. What a world we live in.
