Do you have a statute that you're prepared to quote, or is this simply
opinion? The real question is what laws, if any, could be applied to
restrict the dissemination of such information without colliding with
freedom of expression rights.
Your comments could greatly broaden the realm of this thread if we
discuss the degree of responsibility the purveyor of information has
for the good and bad things others do with that information. But
we've already digressed too far from Macintoshes.
