If we’re gonna go after pentesters (coalfire), or pursue people for copyright infringement, we have to go after people who deliberately commit crimes and corporate espionage. This is no different to breaking or sneaking into a competitors facility and stealing their documents. Assembling a spreadsheet of artists using public data is different, but straight up corporate espionage with stolen creds is absolutely unacceptable and should result in criminal penalties for the company and its directors.

- jollofricepeas 6y agoAgreed. Agreed. Agreed. There are countless names of “hackers” that have sat in prison and are currently sitting in prison for lengthy terms regardless of their intent. A Ticketmaster exec should have to do the same. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_criminals https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_computer_criminals RIP Aaron Swartz.
- adamcstephens 6y agoI’d argue this is worse, since Ticketmaster is likely violating antitrust statutes s as well. Lawlessness will continue until the government starts charging individuals.
