In all the time they spend harassing trackers or organizing attacks, they could have been releasing cracked software. Anybody can rip a dvd, make mp3s, scan a book, or crack a program.

The fact is that Dos and DDoS attacks are mainly done by script kiddies who have too much time on their hands. It's past time that they started going after the people whose computers are doing these attacks, for being stupid enough to not have firewall and anti-virus software on their computers. 28 gets it right.
