With all due respect Jason, that's just being defeatist. History is full of companies who made money from selling shoddy goods, quack remedies, condemned meat etc - but political will eventually closed them down. Of course, that was when people became politicians because they cared about society. Things are different now.
Nevertheless, anyone who provides a service by damaging the people who use that service is committing fraud and the law is there to deter such things. The fact that the perpetrator is making money from the enterprise is no excuse for allowing it to continue. The internet could easily be rid of these viruses and trojans if the political will was there... and I'd be prepared to bet that one day it will be. A day will come when someone manages to wipe the entire records of the CIA or something like that. Then and only then, will something magically get done about it. In the meantime, it looks as though we're all going to have to suffer.
