Whoa. Anyone stopped to consider what this might mean for a future where all content becomes hash-addressable on an anonymizing network... for instance, telehash over tor. So if every site is anonymous, and isn't certain to be owned by citizen of nation X (based on geography), then it's ok to break into. Anything found on any anonymous server is admissable. Disputing the break-in would require claiming the rights of citizenship, ie. claiming ownership of the server.
So basically, any hacked system with incriminating data is almost an automatic hit against a defendant.
This seems like bad news for due process.
- pyrophane 12y agoNo, they address that in the article. There was a way under the law that the defense could have "claimed" the server for the purpose of their motion to suppress that couldn't then be used against them during trial.
