Recession Efficiency Idea # 1467 Flogging of Spyware Perpetrators On Pay Per View

Talk about a killer to your productivity-- Spyware and Malware programs slow down and stop your computer, costing you hours upon hours of frustration, expensive computer consulting and Spyware killing software you never wanted to buy. Collectively this has got to be costing us billions. Whether its a slightly discern able slowdown in your computer speed (yes all that waiting for your computer to do something adds up) or the complete takeover of your CPU by Trojans and other malicious programs- the downtime is costing us dearly--just when we need all cylinders firing.

We need the new Obama administration to go after the guys responsible for this type of activity-with a vengeance. How about ten years in jail for starters? We need the penalties to be so stiff that these folks will back off.

Who are these malicious, pernicious deviants? I don't care, the penalty should be the same-

Organized international crime groups-- stomp them all and lock them up.
Local pay per click traffic hijackers--stomp them all and lock them up.
Nerdy hackers wherever you are--stomp them all and lock them up.
International Enemies who like to make our lives miserable--OK use of heavy weapons.

If we can facilitate nationwide ease-dropping by NSA and others with the Patriot Act, surely we've got the technology to catch a few of these bastards and make an example out of them.

How about public flogging of Internet pirates on pay-per-view with funds going to small business technology assistance?
