Bot nets are a small but annoying problem for a small percentage of people in the world. A pay-as-you-go, "we'll charge you extra for downloading 1MB from youtube rather than some other site" internet such as the one ISPs would like to aim towards would be a huge problem for everyone.
Have a sense of proportions...
- btilly 17y agoSmall but annoying? Try saying that to someone who runs a website that has been forced to pay extortion fees as the price of staying up. And truth be told, if the public had any idea how often bot nets are responsible for their computers running slowly and their personal financial details getting stolen, there would be a lot of justified outrage about that as well. Just because people aren't aware of how big a problem it is doesn't mean that it isn't a big problem.
