Well, that puts legislation making virus authoring a crime into a new (and difficult) position.
Its not in any worse a position than laws outlawing conspiracy to commit murder. The crime is not (and must not be!) in writing the virus, which can be a perfectly innocent act -- the crime is in writing and taking active steps to use it as a weapon.
