Anonymous are trying to make DDOS legal

Anonymous have started an online petition to get DDOS attacks legalised as a form of protest. They say it would be equivalent to having a peaceful protest blocking roads or those similar to the occupy wall street movement.
Currently the petition has around 5,000 signatures and needs 19,000 more. This would not mean that this would automatically become a law after they get the signatures, it will just be put forward to be debated and could be thrown out within a few minutes of begin heard... which is probably will.
