It gets passed and supported because of it's description and naming however as shown in reality it doesn't at all serve the best interests of the people, rather the common interests of a few, particularly corporate copyright owners, such as Disney, Warner Bros, the RIAA group, ... I also find it sad to see that the average person is quite ignorant of these matters. The entire law is so hypocritical.

Try this one: 1) Write a virus that spreads by completely randomized emails, also with randomized encryption of the executable part. It would be perfect if you could do this in a ms word macro. Make sure there is absolutely no way to recognize it, except decrypting the encrypted part. That means you'll have to make the encrypted part invent new encryption functions. Yes, invent, not simply randomize an old one by inserting a few NO-OPs. 2) Publish it on the web with a note explaining that it is absolutely forbidden to open or execute this file. You put it there as a backup and encrypted it to prevent others reading it. 3) Wait until someone sets your virus free anyway. 4) Sue the antivirus companies for writing software that breaks the encryption of your "intellectual property". Why don't the antivirus companies get sued already for having parts of viri in their databases? Because it's fair use. Which we just managed to disable, thanks to the DMCA. Want to have some fun?
