At the very least, if you connected a system to the network and it got Pwned,
you were negligent in your behavior, if not malicious. Negligence is still
wrong, even if not malice.
So, just so we're clear here, I go to Best Buy, I buy a computer, I
bring it home, plug it into my cablemodem, and am instantly Pwned by
the non-updated Windows version on the drive plus the incessant cable
modem scanning, resulting in a bot infection... therefore I am
negligent?
Do you actually think a judge would find that negligent, or is this
just your own personal definition of negligence? Because I doubt that
a judge, or even an ordinary person, could possibly consider it such.
