    Correct. *You* are responsible for what *You* do with the gun(computer).
    That shouldn't be extrapolated into what *others* do with your
    gun(computer) without your consent.

    Are you held responsible for robbery if someone steals your gun and then
    commits a robbery with it, just because you left it lying on your desk
    inside your house? What about a BOT running on your computer
    participating in a DDoS (or as a keylogger gathering your personal
    information)? It's a gray area when it's not *you* explicity doing
    something.
