Nice. This is exactly the attitude that the free software community needs
to exhibit. Show the man that we don't give a damn about public resources
like spectrum, and will take a crap all over it if it suits our purposes
despite teh negative consequences on the innocent bystanders.

Do the world a favor and don't advocate this sort of behavior, even as a
joke. It is pretty lame. Do you want me to pingflood your upstream provider
and screw with your Internet connection, just because they won't catch me
and it suits me to do it?
