Security Research: Is it really worth?

Big organizations are copying open security research and selling it to their customers openly. This is not something to accuse about, but it is more of a shame to our community.

http://blog.trendmicro.com/waledac-spamming-madness/ is/was released on March 20th 2009. We had this research released on March 15th, 2009 [that can be found at: http://evilfingers.blogspot.com/2009/03/pharmacy-spam-strikes-google.html]. Though we were not addressed once again.

Its a SHAME to our community that such big organizations take open research publications and convert it to their own work.
