i don't think so.
it just lets you send request to a site and if enough queries are sent the site can't handle it.
if eventually the gov works out this sort of attack can't be beaten, it will come under pressure to restructure the internet from the ground up. a bit like makeing people pay for an ip adderss on a yearly basis. like a tv license in the uk. of course some won't pay but they'll be asy enough to spot, again like the tv license dodger in the uk.
all the tech stuff is well and good but once big business (and i don't mean media) start crying you'll see real restriction coming into play.
the excuse will be the security of the economic usa at stake. or whatever country you reside in. and they kill the biggest part of piracy
in the process. again jmo
