Er, you read that exactly backwards. They were asking if there existed case law that would allow you as recipient to republish it freely; the answer is "no". There *is* case law which prevents prosecution of people who encounter published data (the aforementioned NYTimes case). The question is whether WikiLeaks counts as "publication". - -- brandon s. allbery [linux,solaris,freebsd,perl] [email protected] system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] [email protected] electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.10 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk0EL+cACgkQIn7hlCsL25WRTwCeJH2fYSgF/Ffj8OnOAXKgE1lV jvIAn0UDvLRLuxoUbnkvG2B1CIUL4RdI =r3ri -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/discuss This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
