DDOS = Distributed Denial of Service
the key part is "Distributed" definition --> see 3.a
What that all means in English
Lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of computers are being used to overload CCP's network infrastructure by bombarding it with data transmission requests.
This means legitimate users (that's us btw) cannot access it, because it's overloaded.
You don't prevent these attacks by turning a computer off and back on again.

Actually I'm ridiculing your ineptitude and stupidity.
I am as I type, still sniggering at your buffoonery.

After reading your posts, one could be forgiven for suspecting you of being the script kiddie responsible for the attacks, attempting to use ideology to justify them but knowing deep down that you just want some attention. Whether that's true or not, people pay money to play this game not because they don't have a choice, not because the company makes them, but because they want to. Whether someone is trying to send an ideological message or just make CCP look bad, the question of whether or not they should be able to defend against a DDOS is irrelevant next to the more pertinent question of what sort of shitstain makes an attack against gamers like this in the first place?
what viable targets like Banks, Governments & suchlike ....
there's serious jail time attached to those targets games companies is just a slapped wrist in comparison |

All sorts of places, you have to remember the average PC owner is a clueless moron that thinks the screen is the computer and the beige box is just the modem.
at a guess some of it will be free 'extra' software bundled with :-
RMT transactions 'Free' game hacks certain online 'pill' purchases
