If you didn't masquerade as an ipad, you couldn't have gotten the data. It was a shitty control, but it was a control.
If you put the situation into context- weev's behavior isn't something you'd hold up on a pedestal. It's hard to engage moral outrage for such a determined asshole. Read Chole Dykstra's recounting of her experience with this douche and ask yourself about what you're defending? http://bedizen.livejournal.com/258763.html http://bedizen.livejournal.com/258763.html
I just can't give two shits about this turd. You've seen the new CFAA proposals that are coming out. They're actually worse than what threw him in jail. Weev would probably find enjoyment in that outcome, as once again his actions trolled the shit out of everyone.
- msandford 13y agoYeah I'm sure he's a real jackass. I don't give a rat's ass about him as an individual. But I do care that the law is applied evenly to everyone irrespective of how much we like or don't like them. That's what makes it the rule of law, rather than a popularity contest. If the law is applied unevenly the just-ness is removed from justice, perverting it. It makes me sad that we live in a world where injustice is OK because it happened to a person we don't like.
