except
- his software didn't have any remote administrative capabilities.
- all photographers take pictures in public and then post them for profit, there is nothing new about that whatsoever.
- There were no disclaimers on the computers in Apple's store that would prevent him from installing such software. Matter of fact, they are available for people to use and test in any way they see fit.
He's getting a free pass because he broke 0 laws. Zero.
- Zanneth 5y agoIf what you’re saying is true (which I highly doubt, given that he was tampering with computer equipment that didn’t belong to him), then the laws need to change so that we can prosecute people like this. I absolutely do not want to live in a society where people can install malware on computers in public spaces to spy on me. I don’t care if it’s for advertising or some self-serving “art” project.
- whydoineedthis 5y agoApple consented to his usage of the computers within the store...they actually put them there for the purpose of being used. I'm sorry that photography offends you. Wait till you see what those new fanged house door bells are doing!
- sweetheart 5y agoYeah, maybe folks have a problem with that, but the artist certainly only highlighted already creepy-ish things that we accept all the time (companies tracking us, and the lack of an expectation of privacy in public places).
