Every Man a Cyber Crook
Mark Rasch, 2002-01-07

Federal anti-hacking law permits cybercrime victims to sue their attackers. So why is that software companies, webmasters and computer makers are the ones being hauled into court?

Can we sue for those pain in the butt TV commercials? They waste ten minutes of every hour's viewing. You can't delete them unless you buy special hardware like TiVo. I paid good money for my television set and cable TV service and commercial advertisers are wasting it!

Don't get me wrong, I think spammers are ten feet lower than pond scum (and probably less intelligent), but perspective can be helpful.
