Why were federal prosecutors so obsessed with this guy?

except for all the laws he broke

reddit and Jow Forums are cancer

Is he like Jesus to soyboys?

>He was a modern day Einstein
Hah

BOOKS SHOULD BE EXPENSIVE

GOVERNMENT MUST PROTECT COPYRIGHTS WITH 60 YEARS IN JAIL SENTENCES

They could not stand to see someone benefiting from the system designed to benefit (((them))) profit from it.

ALSO I AM HUGE FAGGOT, I NEED CAPS BECAUSE I'M POOR

He was an overrated douchebag. Reddit and a few other faggotries he did were all derivative, nothing original and nothing special.

Based

This man is a job creator.

This man is a value creator.

He drives technological progress forward.

He didn't do anything illegal. His users agreed to everything, it's in the ToS.

The ones persecuting him right now are the same corrupt, hypocritical bureaucrats who abuse the state apparatus to spy on you without your permission.

Now stop badmouthing him, you fucking useful idiot.

they overreacted like how the MPAA went around suing moms for millions of dollars because they downloaded a single mp3.

should've done community service or some other shit.

yes pirating/distributing digital content should be illegal.
come at me.

>try to be a rebel
>kill himself when he went to jail
well, he was just a poser until he had problems

not a hero

When did Jow Forums become a bunch of bootlickers?

They weren't. They offered him 6 months which is the whitest of white male privilege.
If he'd have been black they would've put him in jail for 50 years for a crime he didn't commit.

the guy was trying to give everyone something like a libgen and a scihub combo thing

dumb people who complain and want to stay dumb, plz go back to Jow Forums and start the next big war

They didn't care about him at all outside of their job. They certainly weren't "obsessed" with him.

Major colleges were upset with his manifesto about making information free.

>white male

you fucking what

Attached: white male.jpg (1536x2048, 347K)

because to the feds he was just another annoying but harmless nerd that would get digital goods without paying.

he became a straight up felon when he broke into a federal building to "liberate" some digital information.

no sympathy for this idiot.

>white male privilege
>2018
>USA
first of all he was a Jew, so are you. your breed should have been erradicated if not the retarded west.

he's the true inventor of bitcoin, they wanted him gone. they successfully got rid of him, but they couldn't squash btc

Hi there Goebbels, I believe there is a noose with your name on it? Please find it.

>legality and morality are the same thing
Really joggin my noggin

He cut the bottom line

...

>Amerimutts privatising and profiting off of human knowledge that should be free and available
He was in the worst country in the world. Just making the best of a bad situation.

>commit crime
>kys like a faggot instead of doing your time

>Commit murder
>Slap on the wrist

>Transfer a series of 0s and 1s from one place to another
>Life in prison and forced into an hero

He was Jewish and he did nothing wrong user

Make an example out of a freedom fighter

So was Jesus.

Nice

That's ultimately what it boils down to. American federal computer security is a fucking joke.

Back in the day, Gary McKinnon got into American military and NASA systems by writing a perl (or python, can't remember) script that basically knocked on machines saying "excuse me can I come in?" until it hit boxes with no password. He spent several months inside their systems before they detected him. Then suddenly he was supposed to have caused X amount of monetary value of damages to X number of systems that immediately triggered the right amount to get him extradited to the United States from the UK.

Someone doesn't spend months in a system undetected by breaking shit. What got him got was timezone differences. He forgot one day and logged into a machine he had access to while people where still in the office. Someone saw the machine operating on it's own and alerted security.

McKinnon also claimed that he wasn't the only one in their systems. There were IPs from China and Russia too. Look at China's new generation of stealth aircraft and their similarities to American technology. Yeah. But they can't demand Chinese hackers be extradited. It would be easier to extradite someone from a lap dog country and make an example of him to deter future hacking into their systems. And the fact that America operates prisoners for profit and the conditions inside them means they're going to find it much harder to have people extradited. The campaign to keep McKinnon in the UK was one of the biggest the country had seen against an extradition request.

Those laws are there for a reason.

Some of them are even there for a good reason. The CFAA is not one of those laws.

and here's why

>Whoever intentionally accesses a computer without authorization or exceeds authorized access, and thereby obtains information from any protected computer...
>"protected computer" means "every computer that communicates with other computers across state lines"
>"exceeds authorized access" can be interpreted as "against a website's terms of service"
Gee, you're right, user! I have no idea why some people think this law is an overreaching disgrace.

eulas cant strip away rights and that's a pretty egregious reading of that anyway

I said terms of service, not EULA. The former applies to services, the latter to software. It's also the reading that was used to prosecute Swartz...

What's your point?

The US government can legally send you to prison for violating a website's terms of service. You seem to think that's perfectly fine because it's the law, and the law is "there for a reason". My point is that this makes you functionally brain-dead.

If i pull it out will she die ?

He found MITs secret illegal porn stash while getting all the locked scientific papers and thus had to be suicided to keep it secret

wrong

and here's why

Well, sort of. He certainly was Judean. But not a follower of Judaism, which is Talmudism, the religion of the Pharisees. They're diametrically opposed offshoots of Yahwism.
That was a really neat trick on their side, honestly.

They couldn't even get him in jail

You can protest it all you want, but at the end of the day they're right. It's good when authors make their work freely available and such behaviour should be encouraged. Yet some authors want their work to be restricted to certain publications. By distributing those works without permission, their rights and freedoms are being infringed upon.

Putting Mickey Mouse clauses aside, copyright law is there to protect the rights of the authors. Swartz broke the law, and because he was a big enough name in information freedom circles, the government thought it worth prosecuting him. Yes, it's tragic that he killed himself, but the prosecution could hardly be expected to have known that he would react in that way. They had simply done their job as they saw fit.

Freedom of Information is all very well, but ask yourself whether trampling on the wishes of other authors is the 'freedom' that you want.

Copyright laws are NOT there to protect the rights of the authors. They're there to protect the rights of the publishers, especially their rights to restrict the rights of their customers.

> But not a follower of Judaism
Nigger, Jesus literally has a fucking Bar Mitzvah (not exactly the same thing in ritual, but the same thing in practice) in the Bible and talks about the fucking Old Testament (i.e. the Torah) for like half of his time on Earth, not to mention that he was literally in fucking Judea,where the only other type of people that worshiped Yahweh were Samaritans (which were basically Jews that got GOY'D) , so no shit he was Jewish.

That's all well and good but you leave the best part out.
Those authors were paid by the government to do that research and write those publications. Therefore those works belong to the public (which is what publish means).
