[quote:Anonymous Coward 18749055:MV8yNzc1MzUyXzQ4NDgzNTM4X0YxRUI1RTA3] [quote:Dace:MV8yNzc1MzUyXzQ4NDgzMzk4X0Y4OUNBM0Y=] [quote:Sol Reflector:MV8yNzc1MzUyXzQ4NDgwNzE3XzQyNTM1QTk0] This story has more importance, relevance and repercussions to you, the viewer, than the death of King Abdullah or the overthrow of the Yemeni regime. [b]Barrett Brown statement: 'This is not the rule of law, it is the rule of law enforcement'[/b] The activist-journalist submitted a statement to the judge who will sentence him on Thursday in which he apologizes for his actions but warns of a ‘dangerous precedent’ in legal action against hacktivists. Full Statement of Mr. Brown to the court- http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/jan/22/barrett-brown-hacking-sentencing-full-statement-text :bash::spank::thwak::bash::spank::question: [/quote] lol...good statement ! ...There was a segment about the case on my local news...all they said was that "At the sentencing he went on a long tirade against the government."...then they smiled and shook their heads....and now the weather.. [/quote] Great thread OP. Fact is people were much more informed 150 years ago. We on GLP think we are the shit and we are nothing compared to our great great granddads. I am looking for people to run away to the depths of the boreal forest. [/quote]
Original Message
I was amazed to find that no threads were on GLP today discussing this landmark case against internet freedom and freedom of the press. We are truly doomed. I only heard of this case a few weeks ago and assumed it would be a hot-potato issue here among the freedom-mongers on GLP. I was sadly disappointed that nobody even posted anything regarding this decision. God help us.
Barrett Brown sentenced to 63 months for 'merely linking to hacked material'
The journalist and former Anonymous member says of prison term and fine in statement: ‘They’re sending me to investigate the prison-industrial complex’
