And so is his idea that some UN based entity like WHO will solve the problem. But he did get 1 thing right: "We are not allowed to organize the systematic quarantine of machines that are compromised." Something has to be done to take infected machines offline until they are fixed. That would fall mostly to ISPs. But who will make them do their job?

They will always find a way to circumvent it. Did they think DRM/CSS/HDCP/etc was going to thwart these groups? The answer is they don't think like one, so they'll never GET A CLUE. Any encryption/protection can be circumvented with the right tools. If (and I do mean IF) it does happen, I'll be the first to find a way around it (by means of VPN tunnels, high end encryption, bouncing through proxy after proxy, etc). If someone beats me to it, I'll buy him/her a case of beer/lager (their choice). Normal World.. Kiss your privacy goodbye.. Hacker World.. Enjoy it and laugh at the normal world. -- Bresnan 15M/1M\|MyWS[P4HT@3.2GHz,2GB RAM,2x1TB HDDs,Win7]\|WifeWS[P4HT@3GHz,2GB RAM,60GB HDD,Win7]\|Router[2xP3@1GHz,640MB RAM,18GB HDD,Allied Telesyn AT-2560FX,Kingston KNE100TX,2xDigital DE504,Compaq NC3131,iPro/1000DP,Blitz BWI715,Gentoo Linux]

The only problem is you CAN kill someone with a car. You Can't kill someone with the internet no matter how hard your serf.
