An interesting idea and I have honest question: would anyone in the industry risk DDOS-ing a competitor?

I mean, sooner or later they would get caught, the news would spread like a wildfire, that would really be great PR for the attacked.

Any ideas on that? Does anyone have a case where that actually happened?

That's nowhere near certain.

Which competitors in particular are you suggesting might be DDoS'ing them?
