Aren't you also glad that you're a US citizen and considered off limits to laws other countries enact?

Besides, I have a difficult time believing harsh punishment will be any kind of deterrent to these types of DDoS attacks. The internet and its infrastructure needs to become more secure and robust against this, and it needs to improve fast.

Do we need to take measures against people shouting nonsense through megaphones, or can we just accept that they have this capability and pursue more interesting topics?

If someone kept doing that outside my house the police would get involved. The same should be true if your servers keep shouting at mine.

Granted. But the police shouldn't be written into TCP. That is a social solution, not a technical one.
