If something malicious done in-game causes damages in the outside world, then that should be treated as any other crime would and punished accordingly. This really only applies to server and software hacks, not duping the new guy into giving you all his gold. If you use a hack to alter the gamestate to say give yourself an item or take an item from someone else, this should be prosecuted because it is deriving other players the game that they are most likely paying for.
For users who are actually interested in this type of service, all the competition could be good. I think 4 different institutions are now starting something like this (Apple, Microsoft, Real and PSU [kind of]). Anyone think that with all these people competing against each other for the same thing that the prices of songs will drop and they might standardise the music format?
Probably not but it would be cool

I think when these spammers come forward into the daylight they should be put down with a high powered rifle. We have done it to lesser evils..
