I love it. The FBI arrested an entreprenuer and the hacker he hired to attack his competition’s websites. The hacker performed DDoS attacks on the competition’s websites.

It’s just so good to see websites starting to be taken more seriously when it comes to legal protection. I still want to see it made illegal to automatically steal affiliate commissions by installing spyware - seems like theft, plain and simple from my point of view. I know it’s hard for law enforcement to figure out how to handle these things, so this kind of progress is great to see.

So long as we’re on the topic of laws and government, if you are interested in tax preparation, the IRS is having tax forums in a few cities this year. Looks to be targeted toward tax professionals, so if that’s your area, take a look and get information from the source.
