Yet again my Taxes are wasted on pointless exercises making fat cat legal people even richer. The law is obviously badly worded and therefore needs updating in parliament, not some wannabe saying "but they would have meant this if they had thought about it."
Under the current law the sending of plain mail does not illegally alter the target computer or we would be using it against every single virus that we receive which does alter the computer. don't see any of those cases coming to court but we receive virus infected emails very often.
