It's futile trying to use the law to change things. It will simply force people into the shadows. Which today involves using tor and some Russian web money account. I read a slogan from before my time, in a book: "If source is outlawed outlaws will have source" - same applies to zero days. Anyway I don't think it should be Illegal. I own a set of lock picks - I don't intend to break into someone's house. And if I did I'd go to jail (for the burglary and being equipped with picks), untill then I'm innocent. The UKs law has an attitude like that - I like it! Resources should go into actually preventing crimes taking place. Not stumbling around hoping that making it awkward for criminals to get the tools they need will make a difference.
