It was definitely a threat. “It would be a shame if I were to report this unrelated repo to your government to demonstrate that you’re a political dissident. It would be a shame if your government were to punish you for it. Don’t get mad; I’m sure informing you of your personal risks.”
That’s a threat, plain and simple.
- hannasanarion 5y agoThere's no mention of reporting any repos to the government. Only starting legal proceedings to stop their undeniably illegal activity, and that those proceedings might result in their deportation, and that for this person deportation is very dangerous because of the political climate in their home country. Its not a threat, it's a warning about the danger of the person's position, and hopefully an incentive to stop their illegal and possibly criminal activity before legal proceedings start.
- antisol 5y agoYou are very clearly either totally fucking delusional, or a muse employee.
- hannasanarion 5y agoDelusional for saying that redistributing copyrighted material stolen from a hacked server is illegal?
- antisol 5y agoDelusional for being unable to detect clear and obvious threats. Though let's be fair, we both know you're not delusional. You're just an employee.
- antisol 5y agoUm. Wow. That's bold. ...Surely you mean "ALLEGED illegal and possibly criminal activity". ...And surely you mean "ALLEGED undeniably illegal activity" ...right?
- hannasanarion 5y agoCopyright infringement is illegal. Bypassing security measures intended to lock out unauthorized access is a crime. There's no 'alleged' about it, the guy did it, he admits it, he doesn't get how much hot water he's in.
