Internet vigilantes going too far?


Check out the ethical dilemma presented in this episode of one of my favorite podcasts (This American Life) (the story entitled "hanging in Chad"), which involves the effort of a couple of self-appointed American Internet "vigilantes" who go after people trying to run e-mail/internet scams. The story begins innocently and humorously enough, but as the story unfolds, real questions arise as to the ethics of the actions involved.
