Not a lawyer but what does "conceal" mean when it comes to websites like forums? You often see probably illegal stuff show up on popular forums and they eventually get banned/removed by moderators. Does that mean the moderators "concealed" it and are therefore liable?
- JakeTheAndroid 6y agoI am also not a lawyer, but I think this sentence is what does it: > actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States Illegal isn't always a cognizable (ie: perceptible; clearly identifiable.) felony by a court. In this case, not only did the two hackers clearly commit a felony, the lack of reporting it lead to the exact same type of breach conducted by the same two individuals against another site Lynda.com. That suggests they had clear evidence of a felony and knew of intent to commit future felonies. And the two hackers were caught and going through the court stuff now, they even plead guilty. So thats basically a slam dunk on a cognizable felony.
