Hey all,
AS> If a hacker copyright's his code, and then releases it into the wild, what does
that do for his rights under the copyright?
AS> To turn it upside down, I have a machine that has had some hacker code placed on
it. I didn't authorize it to be placed on there... Am I to be denied investigating
this code (and sharing it with
AS> others to help me investigate) because someone placed a copyright notice on the
code.
AS> Normally the rights of the individual to swing his arms ends at the tip of another
individual's nose.
AS> This issue can get a lot muddier, but I figured I'd start with a simple case. =)
Actually, this can get to be pretty insane. Suppose a hacker installs
Adobe Indesign or whatever on your hacked NT box without your
permission. You still have no right in hell to publish Adobe Indesign
binaries anywhere.
