Security and ethics

Personally security is a fight that is hard to keep up with. It seems like there is a crack developed everytime there is security designed. I feel that if we can make open source the standard and we would have far less issues with security. You wouldn't have companies trying to make examples of individuals because their software/data leaked before launch. Back before the popularization of the internet it was hard to find illegal copies of operating systems and end user programs. I believe it might have been because there wasn't another option to choose. But sinece then Software continued to cost more and more while providing less and less updated options. Since P2P clients have become far more easier to download whatever an individual is looking for there became a question of ethics. These ethics I feel are no longer ethics in truth, but just the larger companies trying to maintain profit margins. If we are truely trying to improve the ethics of our country we would not support continue to support companies that would rather get rid of employees then let their stock holder not have record profit year.
