I don't think so. I very much don't agree. A license don't stop anyone from breaking the law. Just look at all the morons driving cars. It is almost impossible to drive anywhere without almost getting killed. Do you really thing having a card/piece of paper is gonna make anyone more protected or inclined to not break a law?

I don't think people understand what I'm getting at, I am saying that in 10 years time a computer will be a much more powerful tool that it is today so the law should accomadate that.

By this same token, people should need a license to use a cellphone. Laws are made to keep the good people in check, and to give the bad people guidelines to effectively skirt the rules in their favor. Try again. :)

I do of cource not support online crime. I think this kind of crime should be prosecuted like any other kind of crime. I do not see what good a license would do. A license does not stop people from breaking the law. I know drivers licenses have not stopped people from speeding, drinking and driving, driving on red light, passing stop signs without coming to a complete stop etc. i think it would be better to have more lawenforcers conserned with online crime

as computers get more powerful and are able to do more things, we should limit who has access to them to make sure they are not used to harm people or to steal

That's impossible and will never happen. I mean that's like saying people has to have a license to own a TV or DVD player. I'm sorry, but that does not make sense.
