How about to copy?
I think that a better comparison would be with an armoured truck having left open its doors and spilling top secret documents all over the road.
- 411111111111111 7y agoprinting money as a non-government entity is always illegal. when, where or how doesn't matter.
- dependenttypes 7y agoI did not say printing though. Copying could as well be taking a picture of them. If you want to print them though, I am pretty sure that it is legal as long as you include a clear disclaimer that they are fake.
- viraptor 7y ago> Copying could as well be taking a picture of them. These are very different things and regulated in different ways. This is some weird version of strawman.
- dependenttypes 7y agoI do not see how, given that this is about the equifax events. Is it really different if you copy a "top secret" text file or if you take photographs of your screen displaying it?
- viraptor 7y agoNobody will care if you take a photo of money. Copying the money, as in making a physical copy is a problem. This is different from information which is inherently not physical, so any copy of representation is a copy. The grey area of course is a lossy copy... redistributed low-res copies of art, etc.
