More defense of Russian hackers of course, rather than admitting you were just caught lying again, trying to claim the Russians couldn't possibly be criminal. LOL at your pitifulness, lying in defense of criminal Russian hackers, there is no lower low in trusted circles.

Elcomsoft is a legitimate Russian software company. You do realize that Russia has an economy, don't you? That Russia actually has companies that do legitimate business? You seem to think it's an entire country full of evil hackers.

And you still fail to spot the legal difference between these two cases. I'll give you a hint: It's in the DMCA. Of course, why am I having to hint? I've cited this law to you before, and you just ignored it instead of researching for your self in order to factually counter my statements.

...except that these guys weren't hackers.

They are a software company that happens to be based in Russia, and apparently the U.S. Government, as well as state and local authorities have bought and use this software.

So, you're saying that the Federal Government uses software written by "hackers" to nab tax cheats, hackers, and other criminals. And IIRC, you've worked as a civil servant.

Oh, the Horrors!!

Seriesly, Iggle. Put down the pipe and step away from the keyboard.
