Hold someone accountable for not patching their machines. Hold someone accountable for their machines propagating the worm through their inaction.
I had no idea it was going to come to this; I just wanted to examine the virus to see how it worked. Now I'm facing legal action I don't even know how to deal with.
How was that offtopic? I'm just trying to explain; I'm not the original author of the worm. I just modified it! I'm not the guy who caused all this trouble!
Got a few minutes of access here with a cellphone. This is completely wrong. All I did was examine the Blaster worm and make a few changes. My changes got released into the wild, and now I'm going to jail for it. My parents are trying to get a lawyer; I think that's my only hope.
I'm not the one who wrote the Blaster worm. My variant only affected a few computers, and never would have done that if the Blaster worm didn't exist. This is not my fault, but they're making me take the blame for everything this worm has done.
How are we ever going to advance as a society if we keep penalizing people for just trying to learn how code works?
