Firm Is Accused of Sending Spam, and Fight Jams Internet
http://j.mp/YHhKgw (New York Times)
The dispute started when the spam-fighting group, called Spamhaus,
added the Dutch company Cyberbunker to its blacklist, which is used by
e-mail providers to weed out spam. Cyberbunker, named for its
headquarters, a five-story former NATO bunker, offers hosting services
to any Web site "except child porn and anything related to terrorism,"
according to its Web site.

DDoS attacks can never be justified. On the other hand, it is also
true that Spamhaus' "judge, jury, and executioner" approach has come in
for considerable legitimate criticism as well.
