Consumerist Catches Geek Squad Stealing Porn
mekane8 writes "Consumer-advocate blog Consumerist ran a sting operation to catch a Best Buy Geek Squad member searching for and stealing media files from a customer's computer. The article includes the story with screen captures and a video of the technician's actions. From that piece: 'Reached for comment, Geek Squad CEO Robert Stephens expressed desire to launch an internal investigation and said, "If this is true, it's an isolated incident and grounds for termination of the Agent involved." This is not just an isolated incident, according to reports from Geek Squad insiders alleging that Geek Squad techs are stealing porn, images, and music from customer's computers in California, Texas, New Jersey, Virginia and elsewhere. Our sources say that some Geek Squad locations have a common computer set up where everyone dumps their plunder to share with the other technicians.' A related story from a former Geek Squad employee details the decline of the Geek Squad and Best Buy ethics in general."
But who gets to define what is ethical or not? Ethics are like morals, they are somewhat relative and there are a lot of 'grey areas'.

"There are many presidents who had worse character in that area (including several of the sainted Kennedys)" I don't know, what other rapists did we have in the White House? Although considering the things that Teddy helped his nephews cover up I guess it isn't a far stretch to suspect that JFK was a rapist too.
The truth is that all men having power ought to be mistrusted. James Madison
it isnt abuse if the bitch was asking for it.....
Bush's law is derived from the fact that George W. Bush has restored honor and integrity to the White House.
Correction:
bushwind, noun: a wind which blows nobody any good. See "ill wind".
2. Never digitize anything that you don't want the entire world to see, or at least store it elsewhere such as on an external drive that can be easily unplugged and put away.
3. There are plenty of pictures of your wife already on the internet. Don't play dumb. You put them there. She's a dirty whore and you know it, that's why you married her. Don't blame it on the Geek Squad guy just because her mom accidently found them in a Google search when she miss typed "Sunday Bible Study" and instead put "Everyday household items I like shoved up in my ass while sucking cock."
Her mom is a dirty whore too, don't buy that I love Jesus bit.
