It's because the entertainment industry is in a panic. Everything's digital now, and that presents a major problem.
Look at the population of tech-savvy people in that industry as compared to tech-savvy people not in that population.
Computer literacy has grown exponentially, just as the Internet has, and the skill level to circumvent copyright laws and protections is minimal, especially when those of greater skills can inform the unwashed.
The entertainment industry has long charged too much for its goods. That kind of obvious when you look at net income of these folks.
They are going to have to bite the bullet and open the markets to legitimate commerce or give their stuff away by not dealing with reality.
This properly describes the game rules. Sweden, and the woman Assange slept with, has no interest in Assange. The US is in cahoots with Sweden to grab Assange for crimes against America.
The Assange case is cold... cold as Snowden is becoming.
Any perceived threats and damages by either are historically interesting.
Appreciate that Snowden does not have any documents, so this applies to him.
Given Assange's past, I doubt he had anything to do with it. He's an attention whore and his 15 minutes of fame flamed out years ago. He's tried to find the spotlight ever since.
This is/., where we have, "news for nerds," and stuff.

Now, you can hang Christmas ornaments on that statement or paint it shit-brindle brown, but it doesn't change the simple fact that accessing any computer system without permission is a felony.

Fuck you. This isn't a goddam English grammar forum.
We communicate via code, so if you get the message, you're good to go.
Now get off the lawn.
Your first sentence does describe the law.
The rest of your paragraph is nonsense.
It's important that you protect yourself and your employer, your coworkers and your students.
Paycheck?

It's a mass muon, you ass.
It doesn't do that for me, so get Flash Player.

Wrong.
It's a crime. It's a computer crime, and you're supposed to know that.
See Good Samaritan law for your viewing area.
