The problem isn't whether undesirable people will obtain the software - surely if they want it they will get it or write it themselves (whether it is used by law enforcement authorities or not). The question is what process will the Swiss law enforcement authorities have to follow before they use the software. For instance will a warrant be required, what will be a sufficient degree of suspicion to justify the use of the software?
It doesn't really matter if the particular animals we eat were "created" or exist naturally - they are still living beings. If you think it is cruel to eat them and use them in other ways it doesn't matter why they live in the first place. In fact perhaps it is more cruel to raise an animal simply to kill it.
Changing our monetary system is a different question altogether from whether an artist should be paid for their product.Whether they are paid in dollars or other "digitized bits" is irrelevant to the intellectual property question.
If you own the music on the CD what is the economic incentive for the artist to share it in the first place? While IP laws may be wrong in some instances, to adopt an extreme position that denies the artist (or other creators) rights in their own work does not adequately address the balance that needs to be sought between the creators rights to profit from their intellectual effort and the public interest in disseminating, sharing and building on that work.

So does this one use the data connection - does in have an interface with chat programs?
I am so disappointed. I thought the vacuum cleaner would connect via the usb to a plan of the house and do the vacuuming for me.
