If these virus-makers were given jail time concomitant with the economic damage that they cause, they would all get life. I'm all for that, unless we could give them the death penalty. Let them run an infected computer, and the first time the Blue Screen of Death shows up, drop the cyanide capsule.

In most cases, yes. In the present case, I'm not sure a DDOS attack on SCO would cause any economic damage, given that the company's only business plan seems to be to try to extract fraudulent license fees from Linux users.

What a strange world we live in. Taliban John gets only 20 years for taking up arms against his country, but kids who make a monkey out of a tech business should get the death penalty? Hmmmm.

They haven't caused any economic harm by attacking SCO. Now, if they attacked the 50,000 lawyers that SCO is using to sue the entire world they might have caused some economic harm, albiet only to the lawyers.
