Maybe I live in a country where that isn't illegal..? But I get your point,
and that stuff is very illegal here, just like in most other countries.But
isn't it more likely that someone does that to someone he knows and wants to
hurt? I don't think I have any enemies (but it looks like I'm doing my very
best to get some hereā€¦ ;P ), and I don't think most people have that kinds
of enemies, so the risc should be minimal, don't you think? But no, it
doesn't hurt to try to be as safe as possible, I know.

Okay, sorry for my attitude.
