Crazy ass Lycos actually launches DDoS spammer service

The much rumoured Lycos Anti-Spam screensaver DDoS service has launched. Im not sure combatting annoying email and higher internet congestion should be fought with...insanely higher bandwidth usage from screensaver using drones. I'd like to see some studies on how this will affect major routers if say 3 or 4 hundred thousand people decide to stick it to the spammers at once.
Before I load this up and unleash the pain of my jittery cable internet service, where's the data on each of the offenders. This activist renegade crap seems a little counter-productive to me. What we need is policies and procedures, laws and rules so these morons can commit well documented crimes, and attempt an appeal before we hit them with the bitchstick.
But if you want to install it, tell me how it works out for ya.

Update: supposedly someone took some screenshots of the MLNS website, defaced it and sent it around saying they'd hacked it, which Lycos denies.
