There are animals in the Ocean that make noises as loud as this..

Take the Pistol Shrimp for example: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpheidae

That makes 200db's just by snapping it's big claw.. (albeit at a much shorter range)

Interestingly the 'explosion' caused by the snapping reaches temperatures close to that of the suns surface!

Now i'm sure we all appreciate a lot of TV shows and documentaries get very close to crossing the legal line, and i'm sure the BBC had relevant T&C's in their spyware/malware to protect them, but there is no way I can see that they were covered legally in performing DDoS attacks across the internet. Perhaps they think their actions only affected their dummy target and ignored all the network providers inbetween who would have been affected? Should they be allowed to get away with it?"
