Re: Sounds fair to me

So, if one has their car stolen 3 times, they should be banned from being able to obtain insurance from any company for perpetuity. And, by proxy, banned from driving?

Maybe we could extend that to 3 car accidents (at fault or not), and then lifetime license suspension.

Makes sense to me.
Thats just not an accurate comparison. It would be more like, if you knowingly loaned your car to a drunk, who repeatedly drove your car drunk, you would risk losing the car the THIRD time he was caught.

And I'd be fine with that too.

That's fine for the grandkid analogy, but I was referring specifically to the bot/virus issue.

No one is willingly offering that up, so the drunk driver analogy is moot, unless the drunk driver happened to steal your car.

I've been hacked, and ended up as a bot on mIRC. Granted that was a number of years ago, and my computer is far more secure now than it was then. But the bottom line is that these measures will mostly hit casual users and unfortunately a number of tech unsavvy folks. Not the hardcore pirates.

What I expect to see is a lot more hacking/IP theft/virus attacks so that the hardcore folks will get around these measures.
