Politicians who support illegal spreading of viruses around the world - did you vote?
 
Did you vote for or are you going to vote for a politician who supports illegal spreading of computer viruses around the world? It is a federal offence in USA, as well as most other countries around the world. Yet some politicians have close ties to the organisations that are spamming the p2p networks with compputer viruses. Some politicians have been sponsored/donated to by such organisations or members there of, to support their illegal activities. Spreading of computer viruses is akin to Terrorism. Just in the same way 'deliberate' spreading of viruses like the bird flu or any other potentially highly contagious & deadly human virus, would be viewed as terrorism.

Spreading of computer viruses around p2p networks has cost business world wide highly financially by having to close their systems or database damage, and losses of jobs as a result. As you can see, terrorists do not care who they harm along the way. And deep down neither do the politicians who support them, as long as they get to their political aims of remaining in office.

RIAA’s “Recording Industry Of America Inc. Political Action Committee” and MPAA’s “Motion Picture Association of America Political Action Committee” & other groups that support software companies & porn industries sponsor companies that spam p2p networks. More about this http://www.gnutellaforums.com/downlo...h-results.html

So who are these Politicians who have received donations & support these organisations who spam viruses around the world?

Here's a starting point: Bart Gordon (Democratic Rep., Tennessee), Tom Feeney (Republican, Florida), Lamar Smith (Republican, Texas), Rep. Wexler (Democrat, Florida), Mary Bono (Democrat, California), Senator Joe Biden (D-Del)

Some politicians financially sponsored by the RIAA / MPAA (direct or/and advertising, personal donations in the names of its staff)

Some known Anti-p2p sharing politicians: Lamar Smith (Republican,Texas), who wants p2p sharers to be jailed for up to 10 years for sharing a few songs. Now really, is not spreading of computer viruses a more severe breach of law & more damaging world wide. Such politicians should themselves be locked away for a lifetime for supporting terrorist organisations.

These politicians are in favor of bringing in internet packet analysing, which is akin to listening in to everyone's personal telephone calls. Thus, nobody's email will be safe from being seen by .... ? Makes you wonder doesn't it. Would you vote for politicians who support these Bills to create laws allowing this, and draconian laws to jail people for simple file sharing?

I voted for Barack Hussein Obama, and to be honest I don't care if he supports viruses or not. If you are not intelligent enough to know how to avoid a virus from downloading off p2p, then you deserve a virus. If you don't know how to light a match, how can you start a fire? People need to start using common sense when downloading, and assume that Karma does exist. And if it does, I suggest you pay for that software and/or media before you just go double clicking...

PS: I'm not attempting to be holy by no means, I am as guilty as everyone else is by using L.W. I just don't complain about the potential risks. You have to weigh your actions with the potential benefits alongside the negative repercussions...

There's a difference between virusses put in by criminals to hose your computer and the state using virusses to stop you from doing something which might or might not be illegal in your country.

If the state sets out vira, then it crosses the line between good law enforecement and opression.

Do you honestly say that it isn't a damn crime if the stae puts in fake virus infected files which destroy p2p users computers?

For me it is similar to using landmines for keeping me from walking over the lawn of the white house. A virus is like a landmine, just much worse, because it spreads. It behaves like a biohazard landmine in digital space.

I have the same opinion like arne_bab.

Its a huge difference if a virus is spread by criminals or by the state.
And if a state does this its clearly oppression.

I think for such crime acts (made by states) there are several international criminal courts who can process they, but it has to be brought to justice by a government or an organization. Maybe with a petition or somethink similar.

By the way, arne_bab your example with the landmines and virusses is very good, i have to note this ; )
