If you could open up a file locker with a check from McDonalds, half of GFY would be doing it. However, the infrastructure can be pretty intensive to run a good one, especially if it grows fast and scales.

That being said, most technology can be used for bad intended things. Doesn't really even need to be online as there are many examples in daily life. However, I think that was what Woz's point was.

I am not saying he should get off scott-free. But I think they need to be persecuting the INTENT, not the technology.
