In other words, you COULDN’T give us a synopsis of the WP/LAT case against FR, and I had to explain it to you.
Freaking n00b.
And you also did not contest the over-reach accusations in both cases, or the rigged “charges”.
BTW - the circumstances of the targets in the two cases were entirely different, though you keep trying to equate them. I don’t believe that Jim faced federal prison in the WP/LAT case, though I’m sure the Clinton White House would have loved it as payment for the mark Jim left on The Big He’s tiny weenie.
They were going to throw the kid into PMITA federal prison as a sex toy, and probably told him so, and laughed about it.
It’s pretty much agreed that the MA federal persecutor is now considered pond scum, and third-railed her own career. There are a LOT of people who wouldn’t p*ss on her to save her life if she was on fire.
You did not explain it to me my second post to you gave you the thumbnail of the case. The DIFFERENCE here in the case STARTS with the fact that Free Republic had users posting information from public newspapers ( at the time there were not subscription requirements for those papers). This stupid young man ENTERED the MIT computer areas and INSTALLED hardware to steal information that exists in subscription journals that are used in various research. He entered illegally on multiple occasions.
These cases have little tyo nothing in common so get off you high horse.
my comments about his cowardly act stand
