You’re right about the sit-ins but when I hear the word “protest”, I still think of a lawful procession moving along some street somewhere, rather than people intentionally sending spurious requests over a network.

Another thing is that when people do a sit-in, they are present and, presumably, identifiable.
I would think that the whole point of ‘Anonymous’ is that they don’t want to be identifiable and they’re not really present either.

I don’t think their actions are unjustified in many cases, but there is a kind of malicious element (that is sometimes justified), which I don’t think is there in most peoples’ understanding of the word ‘protest’.
Even if 90% of what they’re trying to do is just to ‘send a message’ (ie. protest), there is that extra, slightly malicious 10% still floating there.

Malcolm X had a better idea of how to take freedom and keep it. Your idea is basically the sit down and take it until they get tired and go home policy. That policy is never successful and even in times when it was historically used people died or were jailed by the thousands for it. Torrent freedom is an issue that will go down in someone’s history book. Be on the right side of it.

No that’s -exactly- what a sit-in is. If you stage a sit-in in a business (like the lunch counters during the Greensboro sit-ins), you effectively render the place nonoperational. Which is very similar to how DDOSing works – so it’s a pretty clear example of direct nonviolent action.

I think it is an attack because they’re temporarily stopping something from working properly – and that’s not what protesting is.
I do agree that DDOSing is not hacking. It’s like calling ‘putting a brick through a window’ lock-picking.
