Yesterday, federal agencies arrested J. Postel, J. Reynolds, and other key members of the RFC 959 working group. Federal spokesmembers argue that past comments about "information wants to be free", "social internet", and the existance of "0-days", "warez dumps", and "pr0n" on FTP sites around the world are clear examples of the intent of the defendants to create software for piracy.

There are many examples of virtual community. Some are of like minded individuals, and others like muds or mushes can be filled with all manor of individualse. The problem is no accountability.
In face-to-face communities an individual who makes to many enemies faces consequencs that effect the indivduals survival. In online communities, the worst that can happen is you be banned from he site/mud/mush/ect.
