A question... has anyone ever seen the (US) legal system go after the owners of individual nodes involved in a DDoS?
That's irrelevant -- a standard DDoS attack involves compromised computers.
We're talking about an intentional DDoS attack (yes, it's just HTTP hits, but they are created for the sole purpose of using up the resources of the victim's website), and the owners of the computers that are involved all agreed to participate.
