Okay, but the gunshot analogy applies here. If I want to, I can hire 24/7 bodyguards to prevent my being shot. If I'm a potentially high-profile target, then yes, you would expect me to spend resources to hire extra protection.

Most of the targets in this case are not critical services like bank accounts or ticket booths -- those companies DO spend the extra money on protection (more servers, in this case).

Let me ask; do you run a web business? Any website? Is it vulnurable to DDoS?
