Yes. A nonprofit organization in Germany is going to be launching drone strikes globally. That is totally a better world.

Its also important to understand that a significant chunk of these botnets are just normal people with viruses/compromised machines. And the fastest way to launch a DDOS attack is to... rent the same botnet from the same blackhat org to attack itself. And while that would be funny, I would also rather orgs I donate to not giving that money to blackhat orgs. But that is just me.
