I'm considering filing a lawsuit against Microsoft to try to get an

everyone, registered or not.
The idea is that their product Windows creates a toxic byproduct
(spam,ddos zombies) that interfere with everyone else's internet
usage and that they have a responsibility to clean it up. It would be
similar to a suit where a business that is otherwise legitimate
attracts crime in a neighborhood or a manufacturer dumping toxic
waste into a stream.
Virus infected spam zombie are a toxic byproduct of their business
model and it affects all of us and they have a duty to the public to
fix it. I'm somewhat of a legal expert, not a lawyer though. But just
wanted to get some feedback on the idea.
Only in America...
