I like that one...given Pat Schroeder's comments about how libraries are 
the single biggest threat to the publishing industry, they are likely to 
be DoSing libraries as well.

Or the ISPs begin blocking the RIAA, MPAA, DoS packets because it's net 
junk that is degrading their system performance. 

Or the script kiddies decide to band together and do DDoS attacks against 
the RIAA, MPAA

Or imagine this...some quick thinking Movie Cop sets up a honeypot and 
another Movie Cop gets caught and they DoS each other
