Re: [dvd-discuss] DoS attack on RIAA webstie

["Michael A Rolenz" <Michael.A.Rolenz(at)aero.org>]

Or consider that the packets may cross multiple routers in different 
countries...and lets consider what happens if the RIAA, MPAA and the lot 
all decide to do DoS after 1000 P2P networks. Maybe their ISP will just 
terminate their service...BTW one aspect of the law that was interesting 
was how NO FACTS ARE TO BE RELEASED TO THE PUBLIC.

This entire proposed law makes me wonder about something.  How are they 
going to enforce this outside of the US?  I can just see the RIAA sending 
a 
DoS attack on another country's site.  What about countries that are not 
friendly with the US or do not have agreements in this area?  I can hear 
it 
now "Sorry about flooding your connections with an attack.  It was to stop 

your citizens from copying music not an actual attack against you".  I 
wonder if a country's national song could be considered IP and then DoS if 

sent out.
