UH? how would they know that?  This smells fishy to me, there probably going to bust some kid that was just doing some PHP coding in a cyber caf.

Perhaps he was showing it off to a friend..?

They should arrest Gates. Gates has no qualms about calling in the authorities if you haven't paid for a license.

That sentence doesn't make any sense..

OK, let me expand on it.

Bill Gates has been dumping shitty software on companies for years. This shitty software has cost companies untold billions of dollars in lost revenue. Gates explicity states (see EULA) that he is not responsible for any damages incurred through the use of his software. I feel that the Gates is as culpable as the virus writer and Gates should be the one arrested.


To summarise,

Gates is a cunt.

Hmm, the blaster writer got busted. Has anyone at these forums mysteriously stopped posting within the last day?

rkmaster went away, didn't he?

[Fett101]

Though that wasen't what you said in the previous post. You stated that Gates should be arrested because people are stealing his software.

Ok,

so it's not the guy that wrote Blaster it's the guy who wrote blasterb i.e. he is supposed to have altered the original blaster code.

The person who created the original trojan is apparently still out there...

Well, now that I have cleared up that little confusion, you know where I stand on the issue.

[Fett101]

However funny your stance may be. That's a standard point in EULA's. I'm sure that all the Linux distros, and OSX, and every piece of software ever made has had the same exact statement in thier EULA's.
