Cybercrime More Lucrative Than Drugs

prostoalex writes "Yahoo is reporting that global cybercrime overtook global drug trafficking in terms of revenue this past year. In related news, only 4% of Internet users can flag 100% of phishing e-mails as fraudulent, and Americans filed 207,000 reports on cybercrime to FBI."

Re:So, when I

[GNUALMAFUERTE]

If you consider that you are free to put an MP3 on your PDA, why do you consider that i shoudln't be free to put some marihuana on my system?
Who are you to say what i can i do and what i can't?, and, why do you consider that listening some song is different from smoking some pot?

When the RIAA tells you what you can do with music and what you can't, you are being opressed.
When the government says what i can do with my body, you consider it ok?

Besides, i pay for my drugs, with my jobs.
You are not paying for your MP3.

Regardless of what i think about music, and if i consider that copying is a crime (which is not), the one in a more questionable ethical position is you.
I buy what i want, and use it the way i want, without harming anyone.

You take the work of a musician and you don't pay for it.

We can discuss if you have the right to do it or not. I think that you have the right, many people will say the opossite, but, in any case, it's not a clear RIGHT to copy MP3.
OTH,it's a clear right that i have to smoke whatever i want.

So, think before you post.
