I guess my point is, virus, trojan horse, worms, etc are a form of theft. If your neighborhood was suddenly over run by people who were constantly trying to break in to your home, you would first get a gun (virus protection) then you would demand that the police get the bad guys. We don't really demand that the police get the bad guys who are infecting our computers, we simply buy more and better firewalls and virus protection. If some of these punks overseas saw their hacker buddies going to prison for 10 to 20 years they might sit up and take notice. They are nothing more than sociopaths anyway, and deserve to be locked up.
Well, I completely agree with ya'!
