In this context I meant that it was the same person doing a “normal” thing at such a scale that it becomes illegal. Scale absolutely is something that can turn something from legal to illegal.

Scale makes a difference, but it shouldn’t make a legal difference w.r.t. the legality of the activity.

What do you think the difference between normal internet traffic and a ddos attack is?

For sure, if I’ve found my way here I’m sure loads of others will too.

I’m pretty much in the same boato but a lot of the communities just don’t have critical mass on lemmy yet :/
