- An issue that you're not addressing well is that it's hard for a single person to DDOS, but it's a lot easier if you can get a group of people to run LOIC (i.e. the group's power draws from numbers).

- A group of people that decide to do something is not necessarily a mob.

- Anonymous is just a description for a set of people. The set of people most likely to participate in these raids. The entirety of Anonymous doesn't participate in each and every raid. Just the raids that they have the time, and motivation to do. If you can describe Anonymous as a mob, then you can also extrapolate that to the entire population of the planet. The entire planet of a group of people where sometimes some people decide to form a group and do things based on common interests.
