Not exactly - in this case, a person on Twitter found a two-year-old article showing that this particular judge was corrupt in copyright monopoly cases. There is nothing denoting how "official" the conclusion is, not inherently in the expression.
- JoachimSchipper 14y agoIn a juridical context, "found corrupt" means something like "a judge ruled that X is corrupt". It's easy to think that that is what the headline says.
- yaix 14y agoAnd in a technical context, it means that a data file produced a read error. In a blog context, it means neither.
- SideburnsOfDoom 14y ago"Found corrupt" in the same sentence as "judge" strongly suggest a judicial context. This is not accurate.
- pgeorgi 14y agoJudge_Dredd.avi found corrupt (SCNR, and sadly somewhat relevant, given the filename-in-a-forum issue reported in the article)
- tveita 14y agoSo what does "found to be corrupt" mean in a blog context? "Please sue me for libel?" (Yes, I see the note. "I don't need journalistic integrity, I'm a registered journalist!") Good job on finding the other common meaning; you'll have noticed that a search on "found to be corrupt" yields two meanings besides this article: corrupted data, and findings of a court or investigation. There are a lot of ways to phrase the headline that wouldn't make a reasonable reader assume that this was an official ruling, e.g. "X is corrupt", "Why X is corrupt", "Evidence that X is corrupt", "X alleged to be corrupt", or really anything but "found to be". The facts by themselves are interesting, but the headline I found misleading.
- Natsu 14y ago> So what does "found to be corrupt" mean in a blog context? It means that evidence indicating corruption has been found. Any other reading puts words in their mouth.
