Story: Lycos should send its zombie army home
Posted by: Anonymous (Sunday 5 December 2004, 6:47 AM)
Regardless of how beneficial this may be to some it doesn't make it legal or right. I agree with the article that Lycos whether they claim there motivation was to "slow down" or to do a true denial of service, the end result was a denial of service for some. Their claims are just using semantics to try and justify a rogue action. Couldn't someone who then doesn't agree with the way Lycos operates make the same attack on Lycos and be justified because Lycos said it was ok for them to do it, so wouldn't it in turn be ok for those who don't believe in what Lycos does?
