Laws there are, to put it politely, archaic. It should be acceptable to discuss the law in a hacker sense -- what are the rules, how are they broken, what are the security concerns etc. I've no interest in diminishing other cultures, but any law of any land is ripe for review. In this situation, we collectively look the other way because oil.

>MBS is a highly biased source to work from. Yeah, but when we're discussing a quote he made he's knd of the only authority. I don't get your argument. "MBS said x, he was probably talking about this vague passage." "No, he was probably talking about this clear one." "Yeah but he's the worst so who cares what he's talking about." OK? I wasn't defending the guy.

  Sorry, there was no intent to make it sound like you were defending him. He is literally the authority in this case but it doesn't make his statements accurate. > "Yeah but he's the worst so who cares what he's talking about." It's not that he's horrible, its that he is incentivized to misrepresent things if it makes him look better. It's a natural assumption with any person in power.
