Since when is getting someone's IP address an "attack"?

I guess that makes anyone running a DNS server a criminal.  This entire 
discussion is ludicrous.

IP addresses are *how computers talk to one another* on the net.  It's 
*how the net works*.

If you don't like it, go design your own fucking Internet.
