If the captain knowingly and willfully violates the law, he should be punished, period.
Going soft and letting him get away with it only sends the message to the corporation that it's ok to break the law and get away with it by holding a poor captain hostage.
Get tough on anyone complicit, and the company will stop ordering its captains to break the law.
Speeding truck drivers even more so. Nobody needs to be taking chances with safety..ESPECIALLY when you're handling a double digit tonnage vehicle that could easily kill someone.
Incidentally, I think this is why kidnapping and hostage taking rates in other parts of the world are slim when the police are ruthless against the crooks. There, taking a hostage won't save you, so you don't consider it an option, ergo...hostage taking is extremely rare.
What's worse is that malware is even possible in what is supposed to be a document format.
Unless macros and the like are features of a PDF, anything other than text and pictures should be dumb data sandboxed and jailed in the file. Anything getting out is by definition an exploit.
According to Einstein and Minkowski, time is an imaginary dimension, whereas length, width, and depth are real dimensions.
The 4D distance formula is the familiar "square root of the sum of the squares" so familiar to geometry, but time being imaginary is what gives you the negative in the metric signature.

Charge them both with obstruction of justice at the very least.
They know damn well they're trying to use their twinosity to confound justice.
And the one who makes the rules keeps the gold.

Having the company go tits up and wipe out your equity is risk enough.
The corporate veil is one of the biggest reasons that a shareholder invests in a corporation, after all.
I think eminent domain at the federal level would be quite appropriate.
Putting a fair price on the patents however might be a bit tricky.
Often times I find that people who advocate population control are actually looking to eliminate competition in the game of life.
The power plant probably does though.
Which is a simple way to get around (almost) any law.
Force the employee to agree to some outlandish AYBABTU style policy as a condition of employment.
That alone should tell the company to GTFO of her emails.
I'm pretty sure that willful breach of attorney client privilege gets you in serious trouble if a judge finds out about it.
This is generally the sort of "bargaining power imbalance" that unionization is supposed to remedy.
And they should get smacked for that right there.
There's something called attorney client privilege. If the company WILLFULLY breached that there should be some MAJOR league hell to pay.
What about breach of attorney client privilege?
IIRC the conversations were with her lawyer.
Is this an AF prank?
I can't imagine an open source project so openly collaborating with Microsoft here...
A robots.txt file is the internet equivalent of a "No Trespassing" sign.
Access controls are more like locked gates.
They both make it illegal to enter without permission, but only the second one actually prevents. it.

In practice if you're a corporation fighting a user, you always win unless that user has another corporation backing him up (such as the EFF).
Having the ability to drag someone out in court is powerful incentive for your opponent to fold.

If^H^HWhen they screw up, we can't fire them.

That doesn't mean Google should get off for its rather facebook-esque manner of autofollowing everyone on the contact list.
One's attitude towards the law/authority is probably a moral judgement itself however.
Depends on who pressed the magnet to your head.
I think the court would treat it the same as intoxication.
Depends if the soul itself was responsible for being the first link in the chain of causation that lead to the interference in the first place.
This is why you get off fairly light if not completely if someone spikes your drink with ethanol than if you chug down a beer.
I prefer to think of it more as the spirit is a supernatural electromagnetic entity that has heavy influence over the neurons of the brain.
Considering the topic I wouldn't be surprised if free will was implemented via quantum mechanics.
Of course, alcohol can interfere with this influence just as easily as magnets can.
