You also oppose copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret and official secrets laws, I suppose. DATA IS DATA. There's no nuance possible. It's just DATA, completely removed from the human realm.
- epicmellon 8y agoPatents, yeah. Copyright and trademark are really about fraud than theft. Trade secrets are trade secrets: the violation comes from trying to circumvent security, not having the data itself. So I'd say it is very nuanced ;)
