While I dont condone Lycos for what is in princible, a DDoS that they judge as legitemate, I think you have to consider the opinion of many users on the Internet.
For many of us, spam is a scurge, a blotch in our e-mail boxes, a tide of junk in the filters and a flood of popup windows. These sites that MAKE money by doing this are making money ANNOYING people
. Futhermore, many of them I have seen install covert Spyware/Adware, and some are even imitated/used virus attacks. AdAware, Firefox and McAfee have thus far kept my sanity intact...
A DDoS is a really screwed up thing to do, and much of it is done by the very viruses spread by spam. In this case, Lycos is simply fighting back and I say ,
Fight Fire with Fire
Go Lycos.
