- If I ever find out that it was your greed for profit,
- and total disregard for ethics that spread a virus
- to my system, I won't hold any responsibility for my actions
- either, assuming I can find you.
-
- These actions as well as the disclaimer are not too much
- different than finding a loaded gun in your back alley
- and advertising it for sale, even though it doesn't
- belong to you, all the while proclaiming innocence
- and denying responsibility if someone gets hurt.
-
- There are probably many bleeding heart civil libertarians
- out there who will disagree with me, but I think it's
- about time we got some new laws that would make it a crime
- to distribute virus-related material, regardless of any
- disclaimers or denials of responsibility.
