this is about 75% curiousity and (I hope) not more than 10% sniping but... This reply conveys very little which wasn't in the OP; certainly, nothing of substance about why one should expect "a whole heck of a lot of trouble, and potentially face up to 10 years in prison"? Yes, running that many workers against a single URL would be impolite in the extreme and could, perhaps, be construed as a DOS attack, but is that your reason? And if so, under the laws of which country?	[reply]

If there's one thing we've learned from Logicus'(simon) online history and admission on this site (though, unspurprisingly, he insists he was a victim) it's that he knows about DOS attacks. So I would trust him on this issue. Oh, almost forgot, why the F*** did you approve yet another one of his trolls?	[reply]

I make no claim to victim-hood in the matter.	[reply]

under the laws of which country? Wink wink, I would not recommend trying it from inside the UK or USA. As for how one can get in trouble, I'll leave that up to the imagination of anyone foolish enough to contemplate trying it. Suffice to say I hope for their sake if they do that the sysop of the system is incompetent, or that they use it from an untraceable location.	[reply]

I think the law concerning the subject is mostly aimed at restraining corporations from dossing each other, because they would if they could.	[reply]
