passwords was uh... wanna of
the most innovative people
there is in the new media and uh...
he had done some great work building up our access standard
uh... he i had done work harder architecting creative commons
you was uh...
one of the founders of reddit now
some gated people get into technol definitions of who's a founder but he
was there in the beginning
he doesn't work in liberating public records building if republican i've
buried were quick change congress pics congressperson
would strikers demand progress
progressive change
campaign committee et cetera right
by all accounts
an incredibly smart kid
some would say justifiably so genius
uh... he just committed suicide at the age of twenty six
why do so pore saying no the standard explanations of depression etcetera
uh... but the reality is his family says his friends say
and what he was concerned about before
he killed himself
was any nor miss federal investigation
where he was charged with at least thirteen felony counts and could have
served up to fifty
years in prison my god what i mean do deserve that kind of punishment
he went at into
ip the government's case is correct in will ever know
you enter a closeted m_i_t_ hand applaud his laptop into a downloaded academic
papers from this thing called j store
this was such a greedy s gravest act
budgets or said we will not pursue criminal charges
belarus
not a big deal
furthermore they said we live in person civil charges
it's not that big a deal it's not that important
now the government said nope nope
uh... we think that this year's deserves at least fifty years we are in charge of
with violating
the computer fraud and abuse ac
now did he do something criminal
when the government explains this case
they explained that he my late in the
use of terms
at for the service that he was provides a getting access to
so wait a minute that look it all gets complicated in terms of technical
details of cetera
but you have to understand something
he didn't even
necessarily break the law he just
they say
or information of this law
is that if you violate the terms of service
of anything that you have the contract with
we put u_n_ joseph elon
so if you are access the for example the private
members only archives the young turks
what you need for up to fifty years in prison
but that's not an issue that we're are settle civil ian saturn of fifty years
of resin
of course isabel back
it's about protecting
the large play institutional prayer players is about going after people i
guess was for the government can't control them
antigovernment as does have a monopoly on what they're good at
which is computers
they've got a monopoly on air power the gum monopoly on naval power they've got
a monopoly and all other weapons
but these guys who know about computers again break in the face
its schedule of death
that's why they're goin so hard after bradley manny that's why they're behind
the scenes pursue julian assigned that's why they went after harris words
with his nuclear weapon charge fifty years in prison
are you kidding
now look as argument to be made that he might have violating copyright law
if you believe the government x
copyright law fifty years
that's absurd
is are you going to be made the news and they don't press pass or we're searching
for arguments here
but haven't states
you know what i a real charges for digital trespassing a hundred-dollar
fine
up to thirty days in prison
he pays up to one million dollar fine
and thirty years in prison
this is grow tax
and what happened
he had bill double portion because it was working dreaded etcetera
fortune depleted
try to fight the government
because the government was coming no matter what
j stores and we don't want you to prosecute we are hungry party here
and what was it what did he get that was so valuable
academic papers
are you kidding me apple academic papers lawrence lessig who knew him well growth
anyone who says that there is money to be made
moustache of academic oracle's
is either an eighty eight
or a lighter
personal essays will most esteemed
law professors in the country works at harvard
and any or a liar
and a lack of anyway academic papers or did you they go for job that no
he was doing it
i cause that he believed in he thought that these are academic papers i should
be fake hair
if u believe me there was this again
should be shared with the public
now look there's a good case at least megan hammond thanks a lot of africa
so put it into jst or and that they should be properly
compensated for that you can just take that and making a public righted fair
okay
you have a case over that that is proportional but this is nowhere near
proportional
when they go to timothy lee from the cato institute
i remember these are not liberals is a libertarian
about the government's case this is the government seems to have lost
also super portion here
an apparent legal theory behind the government's case
that using a website in a manner that violates his terms of use
passengers
felony computer hacking
could have serious unintended consequence
the other governments use this in the past
there's a case of the woman grew up
created if they can count on my space
my space
everlasting is true
and now what you know when it was terrible she went after uh... somebody
uh... that her daughter to a school thirteen years old
and it was bullying and and then the travel in a heavy nobody was on our side
choose bullying eighty young grow it sir
but the actual charges they wanna perseus and when they were going using
sports
they're saying
that creating a fake profile on my space
aloni
does that violated the terms of service a my space
and this is crazy you want to have an unintended consequences
who has a mileage in terms of service bob
well the hundreds of things you signed up to on what are you positive you have
my let any of them
c what it allows the government to do with the selective prosecution
system out
law is solved lol
that almost anybody can be prosecuted on this
they selectively prosecutor people they don't like
all you want to share information you want to make it public
what government despises that
they don't want trespassing bollywood live in a democracy rebate
so you try to make any
saying that if the government has or in this case chased or at is a private
organization
public but all you are
you know anywhere in the corporate jobs
well then they're gonna have to coming at you an m_i_t_ by the way share the
blame here too because a kept pursuing the case when there was no sense of
proportionality
and they say now that they're looking into what went wrong
and uh... it they were for tourism and or apus with israel's yes you were
and allowed
that u_s_ strategic rotate with leeson's the u_s_ attorney as you say
in massachusetts
watched by the way is already petition on the white house government
uh... to uh... make sure that she is demoted of for her bullying of aris
warts ernie miss carmen ortiz
these people
if they actually try to
share information
that is a huge that the government
animosity selectively prosecuted they must be eliminated
you bully them you intimidate them
and you say will go to trial
and when taking every penny you have
and i would try to put you in jail for fifty years
it is protests
everything must be controlled
we cannot have a guy likes wards
whose finger on something the government can't figure out
all my good actresses authors from all the world
they end up our
in a sense a weapon
the government does not have
and that is why the government is jealous of it or tried to everything no
matter how hard reports what is
to try to stamp it out so uh... nobody administration of course which is
uh... progressive writing democratic had brought us change
how they respond to me perhaps
amending this law which is what everybody's calling for today
because it is so broad in interviews uh... for
so many different purposes as i explained here in this case at the work
selective prosecution
richard downing the deadly secular chief compute of computer crime and
intellectual property
says removing parts law
could make it difficult or impossible
to char and punish serious threats from old lectures insiders
so they're seriously no we will not change the law we will not amend the law
will we use at the crash our own citizens
that's the government we have
kazan out really our government of the government of
by and four for britain
interests
