Interesting. In humans, a virus may be able to adapt to antibiotics or vaccines over time and continue to survive. Looks like it can happen with computer viruses too.
Tracking to the home would be difficult but tracking to an area is more realistic. If there is a serial # embedded in to the code, the manufacturer can track that # to a particular store or warehouse. While this isn't enough to catch anyone alone, it could be used as supporting evidence in an ongoing case.
Ofcourse, if a conterfeiter is stupid enough to actually register the printer (like the other 1% of the population) then they deserve to be cought in the first place.

Although this news is a bit exciting, at which point is a laptop not a "lap" top anymore? Images of Baby Huey are starting to come to mind...

Does this mean... that once you query the DB, you have to walk through all the tables before you can exit?
