Minutes after I posted Is There a “Right Way to Earn”? in which I talk about the problems with making money in the porn industry, I find this article on CNN via WickedFire.
According to the article Julie Amero, a Connecticut substitute teacher, was convicted last month of exposing seventh-grade students to pornography on her classroom computer. The porn was apparantly in the form of adware pop-ups while her (and I assume the students) were surfing a “hair styles” website. The article claims she could be behind bars for “up to 40 years” but that’s just blatant sensationalism. But the reality of it is, she definately could serve some sort of jail time. Probably not much, but some. We’ll just have to wait and see what happens.
This adds another dimension to the whole “is there a right way to earn?” debate. This situation is unfortunate, but it does happen. Just keep that in mind when you’re considering a quick buck by distributing malware. You really could be hurting some innocent person.

I’m glad you posted this. I just had a contact of mine tell me he was going to start a similar malware site like the one that got this teacher busted for a quick buck. I warned him of this exact result…I’ll have to link him.
Yeah, that really stinks. What a hairy situation.
