Many of the DDOS nodes don't know they're being hijacked for a DDOS. Name and shame an innocent person?

They are NOT innocent. They let their computers be used in stealing, censorship, blackmailing, spam and other evil stuff. It doesn't matter if it is stupidity, ignorance or malicious intent.

If your car keeps hitting other cars you should hand over your license.

It's not about THQ getting money or not. By paying for this you're basically saying it's okay for HiB to sell DRM'ed Win-only game subscriptions (seriously, look up Steam license, you're not actually buying games). There is no other meaning to this.

My only problem with bitcoin is that it is pretty much useless or unnecessarily complicating to try and use them. When I can easily pay at the pump, or checkout at the grocery store with bitcoins, it might have some value for me.

That will never happen. No government would accept alternative currency, money is their only source of power and legitimacy. With no control over economy they would be a bunch of clowns in suits and ties, printing laws and bills that no one would give a f*** about.
