Typosquatting the U.S presidential election - a security risk?

Surely.: If the RIAA is able to prosecute people for allegedly 'making available' a few music files then why are these 'cyber criminals' not pursued so vigorously? After all your average file sharer is not making any money out of it. They are not comitting fraud or theft, unlike the owners of the phishing sites that steal your credit card details.

I personally don't fileshare, but it annoys me how easily they are caught and punished beyond what I consider reasonable amounts. Whilst the scum who trade in child porn, spam and other scams seem to not be affected at all.

Here in the UK you would be better off going into a real store and shoplift actual CDs rather than fileshare. The fines are certainly less if you get caught.

Governments should be doing more to prevent and pursue cyber criminals. If the RIAA is able to do it, then surely so should the government.; Posted by: Bozzer Posted on: 08/21/08 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
