It just doesn't seem right for media sites to "partner" with FBI/the government for a story like this, and give them a platform to spread its propaganda.
For the record I'm one of the people who believe what the FBI did here is wrong. I imagine if they had know what it is and what it can do early on, they would've shut down Bittorrent Inc, too, for "facilitating piracy", "conspiracy to create piracy", "money laundering" (by making money as a company that creates torrent technology), and some other CFAA charges, for good measure - all of them bullshit.
- krapp 12y agoThis isn't entirely propaganda, though. Sure, the government's version of events is, but it's also a newsworthy event that Wired's readership would be interested in. Why would they not cover it, or foster partnerships that make it easier to get access to stories like this? It is literally their job.
