And have escalating charges for reinstating Internet access after a machine

First time: Free
Second time: $25
Third time: $50
Subsequently: $100
Wait... are those flying pigs I see out my window?

and therein lies the gulf between ideal and reality :-)
Personally I'd like to see some large corporates go after some infected
home users in the courts for wilful damage. You wouldn't be allowed to
take a vehicle unfit for purpose on the public highway and cause damage
to others without facing some form of recompense. So why do we allow PCs
unfit for purpose on the public Internet and let the owners get away
with the damage they cause? They need to be held responsible.
