I suspect that the spammer can find a lawyer who is willing to argue the idea
that the "safety and security" of the AS701 backbone was not prejudiced by
the spammer's actions, unless AS701 is able to show mtrg graphs and the
like showing that the spammer was actually sending enough of a volume to
swamp their core routers....
Likewise, I imagine MCI could argue that the damage is to their core product; namely, the trust of other ISPs and their willingness to exchange traffic with MCI.
