I think we should actually legalize ransomware. By that I mean create a government-ran national bug bounty program. All companies of a certain size are automatically included in it. Bounties are awarded based off severity, and bounties are paid for by fines to the companies hit.

Interesting idea. But what you're describing is absolutely not "ransomware."
