  1. Re:Mainstream news is REALLY on the ball. on Win32 Blaster Worm is on the Rise · · Score: 1

    So the coder who created the worm is at fault for simply bringing to light and exploiting the fact that the number choice for operating systems is inadequate? Microsoft might as well just ask everyone to please be "nice" to their vulnerabilities.

  3. Re:Wow this usage seems very fair on Cringely Proposes a Music Sharing Alternative · · Score: 1

    If you could point out to me where I stated that the RIAA was a gov't agency, I would gladly appreciate it. I am simply asking a question. Since national security risks are at a all time high, wouldnt any company/organization be more concerned with there safety? I don't see the point in expending so much effort into stopping copyright infrigement when there are "bigger fish to fry". But then again..it's all about the money...

  4. Re:Wow this usage seems very fair on Cringely Proposes a Music Sharing Alternative · · Score: 3, Insightful

    While the "stealing" of music is illegal and violates copyright laws, why is the RIAA using so much time and resources to elimate this? Is the pirating of mp3's an immediate threat to national security? I would really like to see an UNBIASED source of information regarding exacly how much revenue the artists and record labels are losing as a result of music pirating. In my opinion, this is only giving more reason for people to come up with better/faster/more secure ways around the system...
