The Futility of Fighting Media “Pirates”—How MediaDefender Got Hacked

MRock · 02-15-2008

When is someone going to pull a nice long 10 year stretch in the Federal Pen for copyright theft ( or hacking as this story reports)? That's when it may slow down and come about face. You really need a lot of these "kids" thrown in jail and they're lives ruined before the word will spread and intellectual property will be respected by the younger generation ... just my feelings. By the way, what happened to the kid in this story? It doesn't say ...

Policing hasn't caught up to technology, nor has modern law.

Consider a recent EU ruling that makes IP addresses "private" information. Those sorts of ruling not only protect the hackers, but embolden them by putting them in a position to have another legal "out" when they do get caught.

Getting a few of them caught and sent to the big house for a while might change things. But the police are still too busy handing out jaywalking tickets and enforcing parking meters to worry about that computer thing.
