I think we are talking about leaks and not 'rights'. Nobody has to grant us any kind of permission. If it is leaked we will know. Such is reality unencumbered by legality.
- tptacek 16y agoIs that a response to my question or a koan? We're talking about the ethics of the leak itself.
- lhnz 16y agoI did not mean it to be difficult for you to decipher. I was simply saying that technology helps make ethics or 'rights' irrelevant in these situations. If somebody can leak with relative security and ease, they will. To quote another HNer: "Technology bestows rights in a way which is true and real far beyond the law. The law can be changed, but you cannot undiscover AES. The law gives you rights as a fiction, but technology gives you rights as a fact."
