On the news here in .nl this morning there was an item on a police search that was carried out at a hosting provider that hosted a web page calling for the DDoS on MasterCard and hosted software (LOIC, presumably).
So yes, it's already happening, and in the coming years the internet is bound to change profoundly.
On a meta level, and for improving my own communication skills, I'm a bit surprised that you are being upvoted while I got downvoted yesterday in the MasterCard thread for saying essentially the same. Anyone who answered me yesterday and disagreed with me care to tell me why? Did I not make my point clearly enough, or was it the form of the message?
