Nope, that doesn't work. We don't believe breaching companies and financially ruining hundreds of thousands is legal and even have hands on experience in the matter, we believe in responsible disclosure. They were talking about special buttstocks and bizarre rotary crank contraptions with the sole purpose of making a gun full auto out of hands on experience and with full conviction that these things should be legal.
If I find a security issue I report it just as I would expect a gun hobbyist to campaign for full auto hacks to be illegal, because that is the domain of criminals and the irresponsible.
- reitanqild 9y agoActually you could argue by analogy and say that: Weapons modifications should be legal just like modifying programs. And of course: hacking someone elses server isn't allowed even if you are allowed to do the same thing at your own machine. Now keep in mind I don’t like those devices. I hear most shooting ranges ban them and I think that is reasonable. I'm just trying to take a principled stand here and say that mechanical tinkering by default should be protected just like software tinkering.
