(poor terms or terms that affiliates disagree with is justification for not promoting a group, and maybe exposing such terms to other affiliates, but that is where it should end)
Looking at the post made at that forum that was shown did not appear that responsibility for the hack was assumed, but it could be that Google translator did not properly do its job with the meaning of the post.
I have no idea what the email says as it is not in a format that i can easily translate.
Regardless, NONE of the above whether true or not, and no dispute between affected parties justifies ANY DDOS attack of ANY kind and those behind such attacks, or those willing to take responsibility for such attacks should be caught and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
I personally think the entire situation when it unfolded was handled very poorly by both parties, but NONE of that justifies DDOS attacks, of any party.
