Re: prosecuted a DoS (smurf) ?

[Tim Gibson <tim () fastlane ca>]

You'd probably do alittle better down there, but here in Canada it's 
considered common mischief and doesn't qualify the CCC's section 342 
theft of services clause. Likely a better option though since you can 
easily prove some kind of damages, but it's hard to convince a judge you 
lost 1000s when nothing physical was taken.
