Be careful what you ask for. If you move against these companies in an unethical, illegal, or unlawful manner you loose the high moral ground. Any acts to 'kill data' could be seen as acts of ' terrorism ' or something akin to terrorism. Worms, DOS attacks, and Cracking are not things we should promote or encourage.
To break the law in pursuit of a criminal is to become a vigilante. To break the law 'because they're doing it' is to be an idiot. I do not think it is in our best interest to promote either of these courses of action.
The purpose behind a PAC is to change the Law. Hence the need for the new PAC to complements the efforts of the EFF, instead of adding to it's work load.
Be Carefull what you ask for.
