The way I see it the internet is basically like the wild west of the US from back in the day. If you're not familiar with the wild west term, basically lawlessness was rampant, and bank robbers, train robbers, and highwaymen were extremely common. Everyone carried a gun to protect themselves because it was too big of an area to have enough sheriffs and deputies to protect everyone. Eventually we got it under control though and there are hardly any bank robberies or anything like that anymore. Eventually the internet will be better protected and criminals will become less common. Part of the problem is VMWare writing extremely buggy software with thousands of vulnerabilities.
