- tptacek 12y agoEFF's reporting appears to be contradicted by the (now public) sentencing memo. Orin Kerr analyzed it at length for WaPo a few days ago.
- dsrguru 12y agoStrange. Almost every article I'm finding echoes the EFF's statement about 48 months, but Judge Lindsay's own explanation of the sentencing is as Orin Kerr says. I wonder where that 48 figure came from. http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp-content/uploads/sites/14/2015/01/show_temp.pl_.pdf http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volokh-conspiracy/wp-cont...
- throwawaykf05 12y agoI think you've simply stumbled upon another illustration of how modern "journalism" works :-) What was that quote about a lie traveling halfway around the world before truth has its pants on? This is not the first time the EFF has done this, by the way.
- ryanlol 12y agoTo be honest, EFF isn't exactly the most reliable source on these things. They too are very very biased.
