DALnet's decision to ban file trading is a bunch of bullshit, why else would the attacks suddenly stop after their decision to do this? It's way too coincidental!
"While we recognize that the transfers themselves do not happen on our network, and are a product of a direct connection between the clients involved"
DALnet themselves say that the transfers themselves have NO impact on their network, so why, then, would the stopping of file trading channels bring the network back up? the only logical conclusion is that the attackers have something to gain from this new policy, and the biggest people who would gain from this policy are the BSA, MPAA, and RIAA. All 3 of those groups have bullied people/companies into giving them what they want. Even the RIAA has asked/bullied/paid off congress to try passing a bill that allows them to hack someone's system if they are even suspected (by the RIAA) of having illegal music, and the RIAA sees any mp3's as illegal, even though you may have personally ripped them.
