Sorry for using this forum to do this...it's kinda on the topic...
I work for SBS radio in Sydney on a program called Alchemy (www.sbs.com.au/alchemy). I'm putting together a radio feature looking at the use of viruses and worms for social justice/activist purposes. I know this is a huge issue and there's obviously lots of different opinions within the geek community about the effectiveness of using viruses/worms in this way. Personally I have no technical knowledge about it, but I'm interested in getting a range of perspectives about it.
I'm also interested in getting in touch with someone who's made or been involved in making the kind of virus like eg. the Mawanella virus that described the burning down of 2 mosques and 100 Muslim-owned shops in Mawanella or the 2001 worm that called for a vote on whether the US should go to war. or, of course, the MyDooms.
So...I guess this is a bit of a shout out (sorry for using this forum to do this) asking for people to contact me or leave a post if they've got something to say on the topic, or if they have had some personal experience.
I can be emailed at epotaka@scmp.mq.edu.au or chemii@graffiti.net. Ta.
