FBI on the Windows Source Code Theft

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the don't-they-use-macs dept.

Chris Gondek writes "There are various articles about the Stolen Windows Source Code, but today it is confirmed that an FBI task force hunted for a cyber-criminal who posted on the internet source code for Windows which says 'I can confirm that the Northwest Cybercrime Task Force was investigating, FBI spokeswoman Robbie Burroughs said. The posted program is part of the source codes, or blueprints, for Windows 2000 and Windows NT 4.0, according to the company.' "

    it matters what the law and the courts decide is right or wrong.

    The Law is an Ass, it is stupid, blunt and rarely just. I don't know why most every 'do-gooder' consists primarily of getting laws passed and then think they've accomplished something. The decline of the west is largely the legislation of freedom and common sense out of existence, sacrificing the greater for the benefit of lessers.
