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?

Why? I doubt you could man a distributed botnet of; "spiders","worms","Trojans","bots", "eggdrops",
choose your jargon, but how about the thousands of systems that governments are using,
what about those botnets that actually make people money, to be against spam is to be against free
enterprise, it should not take you long to whip up a script to fondle your logs and rbl their subnets,
the only people who are complaining about spam are those administrators being owned by spammers,
which only shows, companies should hire spammers and botnet owners, if it is more lucrative
to run a botnet that uses 30,000 or 100 thousand ipv4 addresses, regardless of speed or os, then it
shows the state of our economy, let that marinate in your brain for awhile, woo hoo I'm gonna spam till
I die, and make tons of cash, and the best part is so many people have an answer to solve the problem, no one can agree on a solution.!.
