Unintended Consequences
Scott Granneman, 2005-01-19

The law of unintended consequences shows us how many innocent innovations like email, anti-virus and DRM can become something far worse than the inventors had ever imagined.

Instead of the usual "slap in the wrist" for crackers and malware distributors etc. there should be SERIOUS consequences that are so painful that it would be a more effective deterrent. For instance- public, televised canings followed by 20-30 years in the slammer. Sadly, our justice system continues to coddle these losers.
For my part, if I ever meet one of these folks in person, I would be happy to administer my own "special" consequences.
