Also, Revision3 also admits the DOS attack was triggered by their own actions and was an automatic response by MediaDefender servers and that it wasn't an intentional DOS attack.
BS.

To automatically DOS a server that cuts off your access shows malice and intention.

Sorry, 2 wrongs don't make a right and this screams of entrapment.

 I agree.

Automating malicious intent isn't a way to avoid responsibility and it doesn't make the harm done unintentional.

"And while he doesn’t object to MediaDefender’s tactics when it comes to combating piracy – which are perfectly legal "

Are they legal? And if so why should society tolerate the government legitimizing what is private company vigilantism using attacks that would normally be considered criminal.
We should not have private enforcers, above the law in their crusade to stamp out illegal behavior.

Booby trapping your property is also illegal.

This was nothing more than a booby trap.
