The Associated Press is reporting that malware authors are fighting to protect their rights-their copyrights that is. Professional virus writers (imagine that on a resume!) are now distributing licensing agreements with their malware, promising stiff penalties for distributing their work without permission. That's right, the same cybercriminals who think nothing of invading people's computers, wreaking havoc, and stealing personal info are now promising to punish anyone who steals from them. A bit hypocritical? We think so!
