So I'm no fan of Weev aka Andrew Auernheimer. The man is seriously
disturbed and it's odd to see <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://twitter.com/maradydd/status/271067146145107968">people
support him</a> on Twitter. Just as an example, here's some
bizarre rape porn I'm fairly sure he and his friends posted about
my wife on full disclosure (and to DD before it was moderated - in
fact, Weev is the reason moderation is on this list at all): <a

. Here's a post about him torturing some kid "for the lulz": <a

I think it's fair to say the likelihood of Weev having done
something that deserves some level of criminal liability is pretty
high. That said, this is not it. Keep in mind the data Weev
collected was email addresses and names. Nothing sensitive in the
slightest. Everything they collected was essentially sent in
cleartext over the Internet at some point.<br>
<br>
It's obvious to anyone with any technical background that the case
the FBI brought against him is a travesty, and the fact that they
won is even more insane. It's this sort of thing that makes it
obvious the DHS doesn't understand the Internet, and shouldn't be
given more control over it, which is what John McCain has been
saying for the last year or so. Cases like this make everyone look
bad - and if they manage to make it stick, the collateral damage
is all of us.<br>
