[QUOTE="93803123, post: 838768"] There are court cases where a user who did not know their system was being used as a bot was held liable. The owner of a system is always responsible for what is on it and what it does. For example, if child porn gets downloaded to your system and you aren't aware of it, guess what - you are going to be prosecuted if the authorities find it. You will not be able to claim ignorance. The defining factor as far as torts is if there is a party that presses the issue in a legal forum. All damages are resolved via torts. Regulation is not the domain of courts. It is legislatures that handle those issues. And it is a Constitutional matter so that legislatures cannot do whatever they want willy-nilly. Damages resulting from firearms are handled in the civil courts. Guns, cars and software - the person is responsible for the operation. [/QUOTE]
