You're correct on every point, for the most part. Security by obfuscation is bad, open protocols are good, and warnings are good.

Spam shouldn't be fixed by closing the source, though. I'd like to see you argue that to Thunderbird for their spam filter, or any open source enterprise level spam filtering software.

As far as LimeWire deciding what ads to show to their users, well, we'll see what's required.
