The MyDoom.F worm has brought down the RIAA site. Worms and virii are getting to be more and more political and, if you will, "cause based".
Common targets in the past have been The Whitehouse, Microsoft Corp., and SCO.
The Whitehouse and SCO I understand as being political. Microsoft was more a target just because they are the company that is viewed as many as the "Evil Empire".
Microsoft also has had viruses targeting them with messages that say things like "Stop letting us keep doing this".
Here is a list of sites targeted by MyDOOM.
