Dos attacks are illegal in many places. They still happen.

From a libertarian view, no. It would maybe prevent some individuals, but to what extent?

Do you want Governments to make 51% attacks illegal?
Is a 51% attack something that clearly violates the non-aggression principle?
I think the Libertarian answer = No = People are free to try, but we can attempt to discourage them.

What are your thoughts?

EDIT:
This was placed in the Bitcoin section, but the topic also applies to "local crypto terrorists" who launch attacks against alt coins and then brag about it in the forum. If they could be easily caught, should they face criminal charges?
