This just made me think: what if the conficker authors came forward to press charges under the DMCA for reverse engineering their code? Would they have a legal case against the white hats?

Besides the Vietnam debacle, let's take a look at some of the other accomplishments of the proud babyboomer generation:
- WTC attacks '93, '01
- War in Iraq, Afghanistan
- Dot com bubble
- Subprime housing crisis
- Unsustainable social security debt (enjoy that summer home in Florida financed by your children and their children)
This is just the top 5. There is much more that the babyboomer generation should be ashamed of (see also W. Clinton, G.W. Bush). Sure, other generations have left unenviable legacies, but none compares to the mess left by the self serving babyboomers.

Data-Breach Costs Rising, Study Finds 67
BobB-nw writes to tell us that a recent study of 43 companies that suffered from data breaches last year showed the total cost of dealing with the breach to have risen to $6.6 million per incident. The cost is about $202 per record compromised for first timers, while the repeat offenders seem to have their mojo down and only suffer about $192 per record. With 88% of all data loss cases for 2008 being traced back to insider negligence it's a wonder that a little upfront money isn't being directed at prevention; guess as soon as they idiot-proof it someone will build a better idiot.

You wrote, "I suggest that if a great number of your users are using email as a file storage system that you as a diligent IT guy should spend some time figuring out ways to make it work for them."
Your opinion neglects the fact that gigabyte sized email accounts total up to terabyte sized email stores. Backup and restore times for such large databases are unreasonable. Hardware costs are increased.
Sure it is possible to mitigate these factors, but your one sided view is not healthy for the user base or the IT staff.
