Of course it is illegal, as is illegal to stop Ebay for hours, or
hacking CIA secrets, or produce and distribute a computer virus, or
graphity at white walls. My point was that; wasting fax paper is not
even a small challenge for an evil hacker, he is not interested. When
you try to get in 1st place in a Nintendo game, it is because you are
trying to demonstrate you are better than the challenge. A hacker game
is much higher than wasting fax paper.  According to yesterday's Clinton
meeting about computer hacking, Internet and server resources should be
considered company "assets" (he used other words), and should be
protected accordingly, by the government or some other way. Probably
regulations will come.
