Stop the bots

Botnets are a major source of evil on the Internet, from spam, phishing attacks, virus propagation and denial-of-service attacks to the stealing of financial information and other illegal activity. Does disbanding them raise legal and ethical implications?

would you agree that we should take vigilate justice out on street gangs because the law enforcement offices are too swamped and underfunded to deal with the problems? i mean, gangs have turf wars over terretory they dont own, and they are probably dealing drugs, or robing people or just throwing dirty looks around. should we mail out flyers the all the homeowners saying we are going to take out the trash for them?

please go back to school and learn how to write.
