Signals intelligence agencies have to deal with enough data as it is. They don't have the resources to care about piracy or even the vast majority of drug offenses.
- pavel_lishin 12y agoWhat about agencies who do have the resources, and who can request that this data be shared with them? Think Parallel Construction.
- jjoonathan 12y agoIf they build some bridges to the *AA it will cost net negative resources to care about piracy.
- sitkack 12y agoYou know this because? Once stored it can be farmed to anyone with a mapreduce job to spare. Esp when the investigating agency can take some of the bounty, law enforcement can be a nice profit center.
- rudolf0 12y agoValid point. We don't know if they're doing that (and I suspect it's probably illegal) on a wide scale (the parallel construction cases appear to be specific help requests made by the FBI/DEA to intelligence agencies), but they certainly could in the future if they're not already.
