Security Researcher Faces Jail For Finding Bugs
An anonymous reader writes "French security researcher Guillaume Tena, who is working at Harvard University, faces 4 months in prison after being sued by Tegam for reverse engineering its Viguard antivirus software and publishing exploit codes for a number of vulnerabilities. According to a ZDNet article, he could also be sued by Tegam for 900,000 euros in damages. More details are available (in french) on Guillaume's website and on the K-OTik's website."
I have a job. I have money. I like free things. Isn't that the "American" way?
The american way is supposed to be "truth and justice for all." That includes truth you don't want to hear and truth that is damaging like this fellow pointed out, you ethically bankrupt little pissant.

It isn't funny to be a racist or a bigot.
Even if you hate a specific group of people you have no right to do so publically.
You just contribute to an on-going culture of hate that doesn't help anyone.
Seriously, dude, think about what you are saying.
I don't know which is funnier:
YOU own a Ford,
or
There is a group of people you know (and are friends with - including yourself) that own Fords.
I've had two of them. I will never buy another Ford...
I'm not a prophet or a stone-age man,
I'm just a mortal with potential of a super man.
No need, many of them seem to have had that kick to the head already - maybe that's why they're moderating so silly?
Yo! Mod this up, and promote a comment that is bashing you. Mod it down, and know that you show poor moderating skills. What a dilemma... Oh you poor mod point totin' folks, I feel your pain, and my sympathy is with you. ;-)
What do you mean there is no such Ford as a Canardly? I thought that was a standard badge for all Fords.
I hate stupid rules... Rules that make sense I don't mind... But the stupid ones just really bug me!
Were you raped by an insensitive porpoise as a child? ;-) "Intensive purposes" is *far* worse buddy, save the real anger for that one.
[ "*INTENTS* and purposes" and "schrodingers cat is *not* dead" are the only two valid uses of the blink tag]
When in doubt, parenthesize. At the very least it will let some poor schmuck bounce on the % key in vi. (Larry Wall)
I think you win. As far as we know he's only owned the one Ford. And you just admitted to owning TWO.
The Farewell Tour II
I've owned 5, currently own one. Will probably buy another someday.
Never had any problems not explained by normal wear and tear.
