I can envision someone slipping denial of service code into their software before they post it for download. "Wow, your PC was hacked? Can I see your logs?" One message goes out on the subscriber network and 40,000 agents start knocking on that person/entity's door.
Okay, I admit that if it happens and it goes to court, the argument, "But, they hacked me first" probably won't stand up. It doesn't quite fit under "self-defense". :)
