I found this an interesting read; I don't agree with all of what it says;
but it does say a bunch , and some of it needed to be said :o)

it is quite long but well worth the time it takes to read, imho

Quote from Evul in that article:

"I can't control what someone else does with [my code]," Evul says.
"The simple fact that one other person is going to do something
criminal with my code doesn't mean I am not going to enjoy my hobby.
Had I known someone else would [spread my virus], I would
have made a better choice of who received it."

Uh huh. I wonder when Evul will be struck with more tons of bricks. It
is really unfortunate that legislation may be required.

It's a pity the stupid bitch didn't know what she was actually talking
about. That's the second retarded virus information thing I've read in
pcworld magazine. I'm not sure which article was the most pathetic.

Indeed. Sure is sad a little common sense isn't available, so we need
legislation to protect you from your own stupidity.

Same lame old bullshit Raid? Why not be creative and come up with some
valid arguments against legislation?
