Able Abe:

I think there is a general consensus that
neither side is winning, but each has its
moments in the sun, before being driven
back into corrective darkness. This will
continue until governments implement
more informed laws.

And why not fine all those people who use
unprotected PCs? Just like one is penalized
for driving a defective car on account of
it endangers the lives of other motorists.
Everyone using an unprotected PC puts all
other users at risk of getting infected
with malware. They put websites at risk
of receiving DDoS attacks. They expose
all their personal contacts to spam,
phishing emails, 419 scams and Identity
theft. Need I say more?

So aside from greater involvement from
governments consumers need to wake up
and smell the coffee.

We are not living with DOS anymore.
We are living with Windows and those
windows can crack. But somehow people
act like they're bulletproof.

Pay heed all ye who browse porn sites,
download pirated software, ripped mp3s
and movies from spy-ware infested websites!
