Viruses Are Good for You is a Wired article from the way back when days that all who have ever been effected by a computer virus need to read. They are not as evil as one might think.. For years i have been making the case that cracking, hacking and virus writing are part of the Darwinian nature of technology and are an essential part of its evolution. This article makes a similar case and throws in a social disenfranchisement? argument as well. Reminds me of one my friend Paul made to me once many moons ago about tagging. : )
