I belive that companies should explicitely tell us that they are installing another program that does and not only in the EULA. I know that by saying this, spyware woudn't really exists and those installing these programs would be fully aware of what they do. Who want to get some dollars to allow the use of the bandwith they pay for. And of course that 'money' will only worth something on the sites that the spyware installer is affiliated with and it's surely not worth the money you really spend for their use of your computer, bandwith, etc...
I agree that they will probably have to spend much more if they are to succeed in making nano-armors.
But in a military point of view, no real army can be without infantry.
You just can't fully control a tactical zone without them.
Yes, planes and tanks might destroy most of the opposition, but in the end the infantry have to do the methodical cleansing of an area. A good example of this is what is going right now in Afganistan. Good old sodiers taking out the remaining opposing forces.
That's not the real problem.
PGP don't create terrorist, and we all know that encrypted mail/files aren't the only way to pass secret information. I belive we should all care about crypto. Like Phill Zimmerman says roughly: E-Mails are like postcards, PGP is just a tool to get you mail messages into an envelope. Privacy is the real issue about tools like PGP, if you are willing to let it go, goverments, industries and peoples will sooner or later abuse you rights. You're not free when you are always looked upon.
They could get a safety deposit on every part sold, thus inciting peoples to dispose of their computers in a proper way. Just like they do for consigned containers here. You pay an ammount and you get it back when you bring your computer to a proper recycling facilitie. They could have this money prosper during your years of usage and thus fund recycling companies without charging an extra tax.
