  1. Re:Unspecified bit... on Font Company Wielding DMCA Against Bit-Flipping · · Score: 1

    So if stack and buffer overflows end up being violations of DMCA, is a MS security hole violating Microsoft? I think Microsquash should do something about this or their going to have to go after themselves.

    In their privacy policy it states:
    "Access to personal information by third parties will only occur via signed consent by registered users as stated in our registration agreement."

    Followed by...
    "Student personal information is used for upload identification, market research or statistical purposes only."

    So technically, if they release that information, without your consent, then it's a violation.

    Just food for thought, but even if you're smart enough to do a whois, does that necessarily give you enough information to know that the company is legit?

    Steal a few credit cards, register a couple of domains, set up a phony investment site. Roll the money in, create phony credit cards. Repeat cycle.

    Has anyone run through and seen whether or not they actually give enough feedback to tell the user, "This is how to identify a phony site."
