So Apple provided information to have this guy arrested, yet refused to do anything when asked to get information from a terrorist's phone? Absolutely disgusting.

 

That explains it

Oh man

Probably because KAT had paid for software for Mac and iOS on that anyone could download. The terrorists phone didn't.

Providing location or information is different than hacking into a phone for data that apple don't have.

 

Apparently Australia was actually targeting KAT according to Computer World, music companies want it blocked by our ISP's.

Very different situation is it not? Apple already had access to his information, in the other case the FBI essentially wanted Apple to create a masterkey for getting into all iPhones if I'm not mistaken, there was potential for dangerous precedents there, in this case it's absolutely nothing new and still falls within current due process and warrant laws. I could be wrong though, I'm not American and don't have much of a grasp on America's laws.

Exactly. It's very different. This is the feds saying "What's this guys info you have on record" vs "Break into this highly encrypted device that has no back doors or else"

More like publicly say that you have decrypted the device for us so that we can keep our own decryption to ourselves which we can't use in the law process but we can use yours.

 

So the guy was busted by using a legit media content providers service, I thought pirates didn't buy media

In all seriousness, how can the US arrest someone in Poland, or did Poland arrest him and hand him over to the US?
I also can't fully understand how he can be charged for copy right infringement if he is just running an indexing site, it's not like google doesn't index sites that offer pirated material, it indexes kickass torrents.
The money laundering allegation will be more serious if true though

 

Most likely Polish services that arrested him or maybe Poland gave permission for the US to operate but I highly doubt it.

The copyright infringement I'm guessing it's just the fact that he was the "owner" of the site and that's why they hit him with it, realistically it's not like they can charge server operators, end users like us etc, he's the only one they can get to so there gonna hit him with everything they can to show how much of a serious crime piracy is.

 

I wonder when Google will get raided cause Youtube has hundreds of thousands of copyright violations. And they host the content as well, not just an indexing site. Any second now, run Google Execs, run

 

HEY! leave Google alone!!!

Go after the Execs of Windows, Mac and Linux, people use there Operating Systems to download all this illegal stuff so it's there fault!

Or maybe we should go after the people who create the content that gets pirated, cut it off at the source... yeah that should solve it.

Edit, in all seriousness though I'm surprised they haven't started going after the people who created the torrent programs like uTorrent, Deluge, Transmission etc because technically there our gateway to all these "illegal downloads".

If I remember correctly there was a lot more to it than that -- they wanted Apple to release a software update removing several security features which would ultimately make it easier to crack into an iPhone.

 

NOOOOO, where am i going to download my graphics card porn now?

Alleged terrorist who is really just a scapegoat because of his heritage. Who also didn't have much of anything on the phone, and had very little if anything to do with the shooting. Take it from someone who was around when it happened, what the media changed the story to is not what happened at all.
Also location data is already stored on Apple servers and easy to get too and Apple has access to it. Requiring Apple to break into a locked phone owned by someone else is quite different.

 

NooooooooooO!!

 

meh I know at least 10 different website I could still go to

Google indexes everything, including torrents, hosts illegal content, ... but hey it's a US company so why would they bother going after those, lets just hunt down index servers that don't host anything lol, so much easier. US lobbying and crap laws.

In one situation apple received a sizeable bump in perceived consumer favorability, while the other one, not so much. They only side with consumer privacy rights when it coincidently fits their corporate image. Rotten to the core baby.
