Funny Bruce Sterling article on the ILOVEYOU worm.
Imagine being Spyder and running. Running where? There isn't a country left on the planet that he hasn't screwed-over. Tonga? Tuvalu? Pitcairn Island? They've all got domain names!

Angry Serbian warez pirates are searching fruitlessly for their vanished MP3s. Even Saddam Hussein couldn't resist clicking that ILOVEYOU attachment.
