I have often wondered...

Why some of the existing laws on illegal access and manipulation of computer systems have not been applied against commercial malware/spyware concerns. Lord knows I have seen enough systems burnt to the ground by the stuff, creating loss of data and the cocommitent expense.

With all the ways that prosecutors pile on charges against petty offenders, by using creative interpretations of existing laws, it has long been a mystery to me why these cases have not been treated in the same way.
