| Improper and illegal use is not ..
Improper and illegal use is not software vendors or isps responsibility.
It's up to the individual users (or thier babysitters/parents) to monitor thier use of these programs.
It doesnt take a pro to be able to do this, all it takes is being able to read.
If congress is so concerned about illegal filesharing, they should fund law enforcement to enforce the laws that are ALREADY on the books.
Perhaps by creating local cyber law enforcement divisions consisting of professionals.
People that share illegal files are sitting ducks for law enforcement (even if thier encrypted.)
My aunt let her 15 yr old son use her work laptop. He installed limewire and all kinds of other crap (spyware,malware,etc.)
She asked me why her computer was so slow, and I found all that crap and cleaned it off.
I told her why it happened, explained to her son (and the rest of the family) why it happened.
After that incident that particular problem never happened again.
But, they all installed malware/spyware a few times after that unintentionally (on 3 different computers.)
It's not software vendor or thier isps fault that they are ignorant, stupid, and lazy.
Heres how/why they do it:
Oh whats this dam popup? I'll just clickety click and its gone. Clickety click click click click and thier computers are hosed. They dont even read them.
OOoooooh free games/cute screen pets/music! Clickety click click click click, thier computers are hosed again.
I think it took about 5 times hosing thier computers before they got it.
