"only possible action"??

Somehow I think it odd that a company as clearly litigious as SCO is of 
late would jeopardize its ability to claim damages should a court case 
ever ensue charging someone over the creation and/or release of the 
Mydoom viruses.  Were that to happen, surely SCO would be in a much 
stronger position if it was able to stand up in court with heaps of 
fancy "before and after" traffic load, lag, reachability, etc, etc 
charts that would clearly illustrate to any two brain-celled jury 
member that SCO was "attacked" and almost equally clearly show that its 
web presence (presumably a highly valuable asset to any "real" computer 
technology company these days?) "must have been damaged"...

To simply commit a self-inflicted DoS seems like legal lunancy to me.

Of course, IANAL, so there may be some even more cunning legal plot 
afoot here...
