I think I'd remain skeptical until the specific details emerge. Let's not forget weeve is doing federal time for running a script to download email addresses from a public website.

I'm not saying it couldn't be legit, but I think we can all agree that TPB is well into the realm of "find me something that'll stick on these guys"

And claiming he was going to sell them. Why leave out the whole truth?

Well because that's the first time I'd ever heard that and I've followed it off and on since he first issued the press release.

I don't doubt he might have though, as he's a fucking idiot. But if you're actually going to do that you're not exactly issuing press releases about the loss.

Kind of an odd thing to suggest as a heinous crime anyway, since 50x that much data is being passed around about all those people on that list between the fortune 500 under thge guise of privacy policies and partners.

Since when is it illegal to sell lists of e-mail addresses? Immoral and unethical in many situations, yes, but illegal it is rarely.

Because that isn't true at all.
