Wouldn't be much of a point, though. Skyblivion is already just about done. If they C&D it later this year, there will still be a 99% finished Skyblivion floating around on various hosting sites that they'd never be able to stop people from getting their hands on. Basically I don't think it's a question of whether or not Microsoft/Zenimax would want to kill the project to boost their own profits, but rather if they even could at this point, and I think the answer is no. A few years ago may have been a different story, but that ship has sailed.
It's not the same sort of situation as teams making mods or romhacks of Nintendo games who (foolishly) announce it early and get C&D'd immediately before there's anything to play. Skyblivion is something you can play in an almost-complete state right now if you wanted, and I don't think a C&D in a few month's time will stop modders from finishing it anyways since it's so close to completion.
