You shouldn't feel bad. If something like that is technically possible, and there's a demand, someone will write that code.
The only two ways to fight it (that I can think of) are:
1) Make it technically impossible (open firmware, open hardware)
2) Make it illegal
There's of course a third way - not give a crap, and just let them watch you.

That isn't necessarily true, though it's an easy fig leaf to hide behind when you're doing something that is unique and that helps the dark side. I've heard it said by people that were actively developing malware and spam software.
- drdaeman 10y ago> The only two ways to fight it Actually, I think both technological and legal measures are always necessary. One just doesn't work well without the other. (Personally, I'm leaning towards "but technical measures first", though - as tech is much more agile than legal stuff.)
