That blocked 4chan.org during these DoS attacks. If there were in fact other ISPs that blocked it, I'd venture to say, the censorship claim is bogus and this should be dropped at the least. If 4chan.org is truely known for active support of this type of thing on the net, perhapse they should be looked into a bit more cloesly by law enforcement. Vandalism for entertainment is still a crime.
On the issue of the actual story, this incident points out why cloud computing (at least based on interent connection) will never be accepted by IT organizations within large organizations (or any entity with a lick of sense). Passing laws to make it appear the internet has some garanteed QoS is laughable.
