Last time I looked it was illegal to do this type of thing either for profit or demonstration purpose.

"Almost 22,000 computers made up Click's network of hijacked machines, which has now been disabled."

"If this exercise had been done with criminal intent it would be breaking the law. "

What ? using other people machines to send traffic and there bandwidth is not already a misuses of there network ?? Does that not break the Computer Mis Use act ? What if some of those machines where on mobile networks where they were paying by the meg for there bandwidth ??
