    And if it were found that the same person instigated the DDoS attack at around the same time then that could be Damaging or interfering with computer system which is also up to seven years.
    If the hacker were caught and found to be in possession of software for hacking then that could be another two years for Making, selling, or distributing or possessing software for committing crime
    But I’m not a lawyer or judge, so in practice – who knows

    aaah!
    Now I think I understand
    what you mean by ‘Truth holes’…

    they all start
    with a flow,
    then an eddy,
    next thing ya know
    it’s the mothers of invention…

    good times!

  • Hard News: Doing over the witness, in reply to Raymond A Francis,

    witness protection...

    You say rather ingeniously that Hager was just " a witness" but he was more than that as he clearly profited from a crime...

    ...it is indeed 'ingenious' to use the police's words back at them, and not at all ingenuous!
    (I have taken the liberty of trying to decipher your meaning, and assumed a vowel movement of u to i...)

    This 'profit' of which you speak, is it only measured in financial returns from book sales? - or can we widen the scope to include an entire nation that 'profited' from the insights offered to a toxic regime and its apparatchiks - priceless!

    And while we are doing that let's see what real motivation was behind all this

    Which 'all this' are you referring to?
    - the Hager house search,
    or the book itself ,
    or the initial hacking of Slater?
    or something else again...

  • Hard News: Doing over the witness, in reply to Dastardly Bounder,

    It may be apocryphal but I also remember a story about Police raiding a Canterbury based student magazine....

    I do remember the Police raiding Resistance Bookshop and Kozmik Krumbia printery back in 1973 - because of an article in Ferret magazine called the Mad Bomber's Handbook...

    See this very interesting thesis on Resistance Bookshops in NZ :
    Radical Spaces: New Zealand’s Resistance Bookshops, 1969-1977
    by Megan Simpson (2007)

    (- downloads a PDF)
    see page 93

    The police spent ninety minutes searching the premises taking away Kozmik Krumbia’s files, accounts, a broken electric typewriter, copies of Cock and Earwig and Braithwaite’s personal insurance papers. But they left alone the actual printing press, Gestetner and plate making equipment.
