I personally appreciate articles like this being posted, as they don't _really_ feel political and both lefties and righties can agree that freedom of speech and journalism is important. Except the extremists of course, as I'm sure I will be made aware of in any replies to this comment.

Company gets really mad at hacker and wants them thrown in jail. Hacker goes to media to report on this. Company calls in state to threaten hacker and journalist with jail time for even daring to talk about the faults in their software "To even mention it enables criminals and terrorists"
