All of what you say is true and I agree with it. But when they
unilaterally take it on themselves to block entire sections of the
Internet (e.g. all traffic originating from DHCP systems on braodband
carriers), knowing that a large number of innocent users will also be
hurt by the action, then I say that is too high-handed.
If they want to block that category of traffic from their own servers,
fine, but to blackhole it globally is a gestapo tactic -- e.g. arrest
everyone in the neighborhood because someone there may have committed a
crime.
