Why don't they release the code? They might be bashfull about running it but others might not be.

+1 1337 for logic.

It does make sense. If you're only pissy about the law busting your balls due to legality of these issues and you have the code already, then why not release it and let someone else do some potential good? Granted I could see the bad coming from this due to someone simply mimicking said bot program and then altering a few lines of code for it to do what they want it to do.

Only releasing it to certain people would solve that issue. Or releasing clandestinely.
