I also agree with this, though that is to be expected. This whole case is massively problematic because the guy was guilty beyond doubt and in a nasty way. The law should not be punitive though, we want justice not revenge. We should not compromise our own standards to pursue potential guilty parties. Summary EFF supports Apple's stand against creating special software to crack their own devices. As the FBI's motion concedes, the All Writs Act requires that the technical assistance requested not be "unduly burdensome," but as outlined above creating this software would indeed be burdensome, risky, and go against modern security engineering practices. So the FBI says the law suggests it not be "unduly burdensome". The EFF response is that they agree it is burdensome but they did not mention unduly so that won't pass. Then they suggest it is risky and goes against modern security engineering practices both of which are irrelevant to the FBI and the law.
