    Intent is part of it as well. If you have too many people who want to use your service, you’re not being attacked, you have an actual shortage of ability to service requests and need to adjust accordingly.

      In this context I meant that it was the same person doing a “normal” thing at such a scale that it becomes illegal. Scale absolutely is something that can turn something from legal to illegal.

        But isn’t the intent and not the scale that makes it illegal? Scale only evidence for the intent.

          I see what you mean. Perhaps cold calling would be a better example then, where it is illegal if it is automated.
