By the same logic, the search engine you used to find those sites is also a "protection racket".

Really? That search engine sells DDOS protection?

  • Sure. I just searched for "ddos stresser" on three different search engines. The first 1-3 results were ads for Cloudflare and similar services, followed by organic results for several of the sites mentioned above. One could make the same dubious argument that it's a protection racket (free exposure for the "bad guys" while profiting from mitigation).
