Didn't they find emails and other things from these leaders where they're okay downloading / obtaining content from illegal sources?

- gdhkgdhkvff 5d agoThere’s quite a gap between pirating content (even en masse) and hacking prominent entities.
- rovr138 5d agoNo. Not legally. Has it been normalized? That's another thing.
- p_l 5d agoYes, there is legally - even in USA where MPAA & RIAA got widest reach, CFAA is still way more serious law to breach, even at scale
- rovr138 5d agoMPAA & RIAA isn't what I was thinking. Check https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/506 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/506, https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2319 https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2319 This isn't 1 movie.
- p_l 4d agoI am not saying it's one movie, though my understanding it would be only 506.a.1.a because there's no redistribution. I am saying that a) the hacking attack is still considered large scale b) offense against CFAA is heavier than against copyright. EDIT: BTW, thanks for the direct links, 506.a.1.a is quite different from the usual regime I deal with so I had no idea about that one.
