True, but I have used Akamai knowing full well it is used by criminals. Whether I am running or not is unrelated unless it is being promoted to criminals for crime. Intent is what matters here in my opinion. If it was purpose built for crime and/or I am promoting it to be used for criminal activity them I am complicit in the usage of said crimes. Was BigBalls promoting the CDN to potential clients for the use of criminal activity?
- danaris 2y agoThere is a material difference between "someone using it openly acknowledges it is being used by criminals" and "someone running it openly acknowledges it is being used by criminals". Is that difference enough to make it criminal? I dunno, I'm not a lawyer. But pretending the difference is meaningless is unhelpful.
- LinuxBender 2y agoYeah I am not a lawyer either. I think it will be interesting to see where all of this lands. I appreciated the discussion and everyone's time. The thread was flagged so I must go get some chores done. Thankyou for the discussion.
