Today's dose of Paranoia: Several months ago, GOBBLES Security was recruited by the RIAA (riaa.org) to invent, create, and finally deploy the future of antipiracy tools. We focused on creating virii/worm hybrids to infect and spread over p2p nets. Until we became RIAA contracters, the best they could do was to passively monitor traffic. Our contributions to the RIAA have given them the power to actively control the majority of hosts using these networks.

Somehow I doubt that the RIAA was dumb enough to do this, but it does highlight the idea and the risk that computing gives us today.

'Bomb Texas' The psychological roots of anti-Americanism [Wall Street Journal Opinion Journal]
