Yes. It is bad. Thank you for asking.

Seriously, how many people were inconvenienced by this virus? And is it
a legitimate tactic to launch a DOS attack against websites because you
disagree with their owners or their content? Bad precedent, I think.

[disclaimer] I will be more than happy to see SCO go down in flames. I
would prefer to see it happen as a direct result of their ill-considered
actions. It will happen soon enough.
