| Re: Funny Here's my question.
So these guys (not just MDD, just smartass hacker guy in general) are basically fighting an information war with some company and his hired lawyer.
So they get an email from said lawyer and their immediate response is to fire off a smartass email; wouldn't it be better to just keep your mouth shut that way the lawyer sees his client as just a job, instead of risking him taking it personally and coming after you for revenge; with the added benefit that you deprive the enemy of more information?
That's what I'd do, then my adversary wouldn't know if he had even hit me or if I even really exist in the form he thinks I do and the lawyer remains basically a mercenary with little allegiance to his client beyond what he is paid; they just keep firing into the wind.

| Re: Funny Naw, it's much funnier to ridicule the idiot lawyers on a a website.
Honestly, having known more than a few lawyers over the years who have highly inflated egos, I do find it amusing imagining a bunch of suits sitting in an office somewhere plotting their next move against a few twenty-something hackers who are safe and sound in Norway. For some reason, the rest of the world doesn't seem to give much of a crap when US lawyers start throwing their weight around (for obvious reasons!) | |

said by jester121 :who are safe and sound in Norway. Maybe they are right now. What happens if they have to go to the states for some reason? What happens if Norway law enforcement has a change of heart? What happens if they don't actually live in Norway and the lawyer gets smart and hires his own hackers?
It's just not smart; keep your cards hidden and you have more options than if you sound off just to stroke your ego.

| May be backwords here but... It's getting old hearing about how all of these "hackers" try to save the planet like in that stupid movie.
So let's start, first p2p was created to share stuff. Well that's nice and all but it now it gives morons the ability to share their legal stuff to people who want illegal copies. And of course, lets not forget people that just don't give a rats ass about legality so they share everything because it's just "bits" right? Anyway, so MD comes along and decides to cramp the moron style and clog up even more bandwidth by sharing garbage. I could care less as I'm not interested in p2p but it is a neat idea, though a huge wasted of bandwidth and only increases my gaming latency.
So now, we have MDD. They scratched the protocol a bit and post information about MD (now that's REAL hacking)a. Now they think there all bad-ass because they are serving leaked content, wow. Oh and then there's the "you can get me because I'm in Norway" crap. Ohh, they can use that 12yr old internet anonymous stuff in real life, impressive.
Lame.

Also, you got your tenses mixed up: "They scratched the protocol a bit and post information about MD..."
That ought to be "posted."

Actually it's 'they're' which is the contraction of 'they' and 'are'; as in, "...they're all bad ass..."
And if you're (contraction of 'you' and 'are') going to play grammar cop, at least know WTF you are talking about.

Actually, it is still extremely awkward with "they're." "They are all bad-ass" isn't a real elegant clause either.

| The best part is MD working with the AG of NY though! (I guess we use the same "If you have nothing to hide then why be concerned?" excuse again just like with the NSA wiretapping stuff? I guess my point is simply this: No oversight of the system leads to abuse of the system every time.
While I don't support any type of crime, I have to say, it all seems a bit like a natural checks and balances to me. None of the parties involved seem to be in a position to claim innocence anyway.
