Will we start to see attempts to ban "old" and insecure wireless routers? If your router only does WEP then you're open to this kind of attack, and no amount of configuring it will fix it...

But isn't it a wonderful excuse! "Oh, it was my WEP that did it, officer".

Ultimately, there is nothing that can be done about sharing data.

We're at the beginning of a cascading stupid-decision phenomenon. But, at some point we are going to have rethink our reward paradigm.

Change the meaning of money?

Money is supposed to represent value, but I think it might be suited to material value specifically, as opposed to immaterial value. The legal situation rapidly approaches ridiculousness as more immaterial value is introduced.
