This kills me too:
“But U.S. District Judge Florence-Marie Cooper in Los Angeles dismissed Bunnell’s lawsuit Aug. 21 on the grounds that Anderson’s intrusion did not violate the federal wiretapping statute.”
Oh, really…hacking a server and rerouting all communication isnt apparently hacking. Lets go people, I want credit cards, bank accounts, steamy insider information…Its a fucking free for all!!

Probably should have included the VERY NEXT SENTENCE in that quote.
Attorney Rothken says he did not sue under the federal computer-hacking law, because it doesn’t allow for vicarious liability.
They rolled the dice hoping they could make wire tapping law cover computer hacking, when computer hacking laws were clearly the ones that were broken. They did it because they knew full well they could only go after Anderson for hacking.
Face it, it was the right decision. People are just pissed because they don’t want to pay for copyrighted content anymore.
And before Rubi calls me a hypocrite because he knows I have a modded 360 and download games, I’ll admit I’m a pirate too. But there’s a difference between downloading games and knowing it’s piracy and trying to argue that the big bad MPAA is the bad guy for shutting down torrent sites. Look in the mirror, we’re the bad guy. We’re the ones stealing while they’re just trying to protect the store.
