Legal Virals

[Kasreyn]

until you stop using the term "piracy", which the recording industry has chosen to blow the seeming weight of the crime in question all out of proportion. Copyright infringement is in no way, shape, or form comparable to attacking and capturing a ship at sea.

As long as we continue to let our enemy dictate the language of the debate, how can we hope to convincingly stand against his arguments?

Ok, ok, I will discuss ONE aspect: On the other hand, a large corporation distributing invasive and malicious programming is a juicy target. I can see the lawyers starting to circle like buzzards on a kill.

Actually, it is more likely that this will be stopped by some other company. Either some employee will let in the RIAA's nastyware, which will then attack legitimate data, or else the network congestion caused by all these new attacks will be the problem. Either way, I think the first suit against the RIAA on this one will be brought by a corporation.
