When is a crime not a crime |
When a Fascist Republican commits it.

Hacking is covered under law Title 18: Crimes and Criminal Procedure: Part
1: Crimes: Chapter 47: Fraud and False Statements: Section 1030: Fraud and
related activity in connection with computers. The federal punishment for
hacking into computers ranges from a fine or imprisonment for no more than
one year to a fine and imprisonment for no more than twenty years. This wide
range of punishment depends upon the seriousness of the criminal activity
and what damage the hacker has done.

They knew...
Despite the whitewash, we know that the Bush administration
was warned before the war that its Iraq claims were weak.

"Computer crime" law is a joke. More than half the Microsoft boxes
in the world have been broken into. The criminals break into
them by the millions, using automatic, self propagating malware.
Every one of those computers, in the US, is a crime scene.
They do it do send spam, and to search your hard drive for
the last email address on earth that isn't getting spammed yet.
To steal your identity and your bank account. To flood your
screen and your browser bookmarks with their idiotic advertising.
To launch denial of service attacks. To host their fraud
sites. To search for more Microsoft boxes, and control them
once they're owned.
Microsoft and the big telcos and the FBI
just let them do it. It's deliberate policy.
It's an open secret that the FBI won't even open a case
file if you can't document fifty grand in losses up front.
Which basically means it's only computer crime if the victimized
computer belongs to a large business or a millionaire.
Which means Direct Recording Electronic (DRE) voting machines
aren't covered.
Eleven years into the spam crisis, and four years
after spamming and cracking completely merged, and with no visible
progress towards securing or stabilizing Microsoft's major products,
Diebold's DREs run Microsoft Windoze CE.
They store the vapor ballots in Microsoft Access. No kidding.
And don't call it "hacking." "Hack" is to computer programming
as "riff" is to music. "Hackers" are the good guys.
People who break into other people's computers are *crackers*.
