Justice Department cracks down on Internet crime.
 

Here's an interesting artice I found on CNN.

"The message is simply this: P2P or peer-to-peer does not stand for 'permission to pilfer,"' ass cro ft told reporters.

Isn't he clever?

Details of "Operation Slam Spam" were expected to be announced Thursday, according to the marketing group and a federal law enforcement official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Justice Department officials declined to comment.

That doesn't sound too good for some of you guys.

Other cases in the crackdown involve pornography and use of spam, or unsolicited e-mails, to infect computers with viruses.

Are they talking about spyware?


Discuss.

I think this is a effort to rid out spammers, not too sure about spyware, although I havent heard nothing about it.

Spyware I doubt; I think spam is their number 1 priority since everyone uses email.

yes they are talking about spyware and we all know what spyware exactly

some here should prepare bail

listen at least 4 guys here have been questioned by federal agents related to spyware in the past 60 days.

You cant walk around fuckin millions of computers up and not end up in serious trouble, someone is going away for a long time.

good. i hate that shit. one guy in our office here gets owned at least once a week because of freakin malware. i waste lots of valueable time helping him get his rig back up and running every time. mostly its casino fuckers and low lifes who cant make a buck other ways.

sic em! hopefully they'll leave everyone else alone for awhile thats playing by the rules.

Good. That shit has reached epidemic levels and it's not as easy to get rid of as spam emails are.

I actually see this as a good thing. Maybe 10 years from now we'll be able to surf without having to worry about viruses, spyware, exploits, spam, etc. One of the rare cases where I strongly support governmental control.

I think they should have done this in 1997

Spyware didn't exist back then and Napster didn't hit the scene until 1999.
