LOL you haven't "caught" me on anything, you simply continued your endless defense of the Russian hackers just as you are doing now. Copyright infringement can obviously be criminal, if the value estimated to be lost reaches certain levels, and giving ways for OSX to be cracked internationally could certainly qualify. Just because these guys haven't been extradited to the US doesn't mean their activity isn't criminal, we know you're going to defend them even with lies to your last dying breath LOL but to claim facilitating mass copyright infringement can't be criminal is absurd, and just the sort of BS you're known for.
"Just because these guys haven't been extradited to the US doesn't mean their activity isn't criminal..."
Ahh...yes. Guilty until proven innocent...the cornerstone upon which societies like China are built.
Good to see again where your loyalties lie...
Let's review your stance again...
-Guilty until proven innocent.
-Knee-jerk support for Westboro Baptist Church.
-Defense of Planned Parenthood.
-Defense of UN laws for the US.
-Dilbert is Satanism because it uses the word "demons"
-Star of David is a symbol of the occult
-Waterfront property with former beauty queen (!)
-Asians bad
-Chooses to wager his money on frivolous bets designed to stroke own ego instead of maybe using that money to tithe the chruch of his choice, while calling me a blasphemer and condemning me to hell.
I think this pretty much sums it up, doesn't it?
That's for distribution of copyrighted works of a value in excess of the statutory amount. You're barking up the wrong legal tree here, as there is no evidence they distributed even one copy of OS X. The only way you can get close to criminality is by looking to a different aspect of copyright law, and you haven't provided evidence that could even bring that into relevance in this case.
When are you going to get it through your skull that I'm not defending hackers, but debating points of law? Look at my history, I love to debate law. You called them criminal, and I objected to that as a matter of law, not as a matter of defending anyone -- besides, the huge civil penalties possible under copyright law can make one wish he could have just gotten some time in jail instead.
