And here's my MAIN FUCKING >POINT SO LISTEN UP ALL OF YOU: > >THE 7000 COMPUTERS THAT HE SUPPOSEDLY INFECTED WOULD HAVE BEEN >INFECTED BY THE "ORIGINAL" WORM HAD THEY NOT BEEN COMPROMISED >BY HIS VARIANT FIRST. SO WHAT'S THE FUCKING CRIME? READ BELOW... [snip] Unfortunately, this fails one of the very first questions given to law students: If a person jumps off a building to commit suicide, and you take a rifle and shoot him in the head before he reaches the ground, are you guilty of a crime? The answer is yes, you murdered him. It doesn't matter that he was going to die anyway. You could argue that everyone is eventually going to die anyway, but it still doesn't make it right for you to go out and murder someone. So, the simple fact that these 7000 machines were eventually going to be infected doesn't mean squat in court, and just about every lawyer is going to know this. The fact is this kid was responsible for these 7000 computers being infected, and, like some people are saying, he is going to pay for the the MS Blaster AND sobig virus attacks because I'm sure most people don't even know or remember the difference between the two of them. jb _______________________________________________________________________ Cool Connection, Cool Price, Internet Access for R59 monthly @ WebMail http://www.webmail.co.za/dialup/
