Re: Regulation isn't the answer

I think that is a good idea.

I still believe, though, that this type of thing cannot ultimately be solved through a technical war, but can only have a political solution.
Until the government gives a clear signal that this is unacceptable behavior I don't think most virus programs will include these things, out of fear of being sued. We have already seen the tactics used against the anti-spyware sites. Suits and intimidation by business has already been used. Government refusal to confront this problem will only embolden the businesses engaging in it.

The fact that business is behind this legitimizing it will make fighting the problem much more intractable than fighting the individual cracker.
