Expert: Invalid Warrant Used in Raid on iPhone Reporter’s Home
- faramarz 16y agoMost people think the reaction from Apple and subsequently the Police involvement is blown out of proportion because it's all over a Phone. but I disagree. It's not just a phone. by principle, when you're not the rightful owner of something, you cannot sell it and profit from it. be it a phone or car or WMD. Gizmodo put them self in this situation by a) announcing they'd pay for the phone b) disclosing their possession of a stolen phone. This is going to be interesting to watch. I just hope we don't see a surge in pay for leaks model if a few months from now we hear how profitable the whole fiasco has been for Gizmodo and company.
- jmount 16y agoI agree, this is industrial espionage pure and simple. Potentially very damaging to the company.
- xiaoma 16y agoSome of us simply value civil liberties more. Yes, property rights are important, but not so important as to allow broad warrants, raiding people's homes and seizing all the equipment with which they conduct their livelihood.
