Subject: Response to Virus Writing Contest (#5.21)

This note is in reference to the current issue of CuD and the all
the
discussion of Mark Ludwigs' virus writing contest.

Let's just say I decided to have a bomb making contest. This is for
the purely scientific purpose of studying how bombs work, and
allowing
people to study different ways to defuse bombs. I am going to award
some cash to the winner and publish the plans for making the bomb
in
my soon-to-be-released book called "The Little Black Book of Bomb
Making Techniques".

So, the book gets published  and sells lots of copies. Mark Ludwig
arrives home one day to find that his place of residence has been
destroyed by a huge bomb. It just so happens that the type of bomb
used is the same award winning explosive device as I published in
my
book.

Surely, Mr. Ludwig would not hold me responsible for the
destruction
of his home caused by someone who decided to implement the plans I
presented purely for "scientific research purposes".
