Hi Jason, Paul: While Jason's point may _currently_ be valid in reference to programmers, legislation like Sarbanes-Oxley is reiterating individual accountability for auditors and executives. We may see a trickle-down effect to lower level management and/or project managers if other corporations infringe on personal liberties or "pull a Sony."

There's a huge difference between a financial crime committed by an individual and a crime committed by a corporation. Let me know if the distinction confuses you and we'll discuss this more privately. You are aware that not every action of a person employed by a corporation is considered an action of the individual, right? No individual programmer who writes spyware will ever be prosecuted for doing his or her job on behalf of a corporation. No exec who instructs said programmer to author said spyware will ever have personal criminal liability for giving said instruction. If you don't like the world you live in, change it or get out.
