| A clarification I want to clarify something about my previous post. I read the earlier posts on this subject before deciding to make my contribution. When I read the earlier posts the rsnbrgr post had NOT been posted yet, so I did not see it. He was actually in the process of writing his response/post as I was writing mine. He posted his response a few minutes before I posted mine but I did not see his until AFTER I had posted mine. |

| I can't believe anything he says about the incident; he could be under duress. |

Hartsdale, NY | I agree. He is trying WAY too hard to NOT bad mouth the FEDS. The tone of his post reflects that.

I have the same view. He just substantiated what I said and added clarification to the situation. Had his post been up when I read the thread it wouldn't have been, in my opinion, either newsworthy or timely to make my comments and post. |

| I don't think that complicity with the feds is the issue here. It is the fact that an AV company/corporation had the ability to make the feds do their bidding to "protect" the loophole in their software under the guise of "National Security" - and acted upon it.
Sorry, but that creeps me out... |

Well, it COULD be that the 'loophole' or whatever was PUT there FOR the feds to use. Then, they'd be protecting their interest. Providing the government access to communications systems has been going on for decades. It seems unlikely that the feds would have gotten involved in such a manner if none of their interests were in jeopardy.
But, this is all complete speculation, since nothing was disclosed at all...

| Makes you wonder if the MPAA and RIAA can get the Feds to do their bidding, as well.. AFter all, couldn't Hollywood and copyright (money) interests be considered as "vital to National Security" or at least to Economic security...
Anyone want to place bets?
