    Thats a crime yeah and if Alphabet co wants to sue you for $1.34 damages then they have that right

    So yeah, I stand by my statement that anyone thinks this is a crime, or should be a crime, has a poor understanding of either the technology or the law. In this case, even mentioning Alphabet suing for damages means that you don’t know the difference between criminal law and civil law.

    press charges for the criminal act of intentional disruption of services

    That’s not a crime, and again reveals gaps in your knowledge on this topic.

      That is actually a crime, you will get prison for DDoS in USA, UK, and EU. Presumably you will disappear if you do it in China.

        Who said anything about DDoS? I’m using ad blockers and saving/caching/archiving websites with a single computer, and not causing damage. I’m just using the website in a way the owner doesn’t like. That’s not a crime, nor should it be.
