With all the viruses, cracking and phising going on people 
are simply turning 
it into a law enforcement issue; copyright issues are 
contributing to a more 
police minded way of handling security and ownership of 
software. If your 
poorly written server gets cracked and your source code finds 
its way onto 
the internet, just call the police and blame the thief.

In "Secrets and Lies", Bruce Schneier states (in the forward?) that he's
changed his views on dealing with computer security issues after having seen
many people create insecure systems using his "Applied Cryptography" tome.
I don't have the book in front of me, but he says something to the effect
that we may be forced to deal with the issue through the use of
underwriters, as other industries have done.
