Hm. If the 19-year old say that in media, why did he say something different somewhere else?
And I don't agree this will necessarily lead to new bad laws, it could also spark a much needed debate. But it depends on how this is received. I think the general protest nature of the actions are not lost on many people (even when it's described as "cyberwar" it's usually put in connection to something with wikileaks or as a response to some injustice, it's just not classed as "activism"). Also, the protests have the fortune of giving action space to lots of other people, like yourselves, to present something like ethical hacking as an alternative to ddos.
Ethical hacking is also seen as... Well. Something dangerous, but now there's a possibility of proving that it's not and that if it's harmed by stupid legislation that actually harms lots of young people and ultimately also society.
