  I followed a link from that site, talking about leaked info from
MediaDefender company. And I saw: "MediaDefender accomplishes this task
by using its array of 2,000 servers and a 9GBps dedicated connection to
propagate fake files and _launch denial of service attacks against
distributors_."

  So, a legitimate company launch DoS attacks against "pirates"... but,
aren't DoS attacks another way of "cyber-crime"? What come next, people
breaking the legs of a drug dealer, just because drug dealers are
criminals? I mean, there is a reason why we have laws, police, and
judges... and not Charles Bronson or The Boondock Saints...

  Also, the article says "Approximately 41 percent of large companies
(with over 20,000 employees) have employees who read and monitor
outgoing e-mail." Well, if some work mates start laughing behind you,
after you sent an email to your girlfriend (talking about leather
handcuffs, and other things like that), you know what have happened...
