What exactly was the claim against this software eng? By this article it almost sounds like the FBI (guided by the copyright mafia) fabricated a case against some defenseless software dev just to gain more leverage on dotcom.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoThat's what the FBI does. I'm watching The Sopranos on Amazon Prime. Without the FBI doing this, that would have been a much shorter show. I doubt The Sopranos is reference grade, but I don't doubt that the bones of these plot elements are valid.
- ArkyBeagle 10y agoSome people need to be more careful about what they are offended by. It's really worth studying the history of the FBI. Hoover basically blackmailed people who got in his way long enough for the general culture to get used to the idea - it was stridently opposed for a very long time. It's a game. Hate the game, not the player.

- jsprogrammer 10y agoRemember when GS got the FBI to arrest and prosecute a programmer who did nothing wrong? The arresting agents couldn't even articulate why they were arresting the programmer.
