Ok, I'll bite. Anyone ever heard of a big fish they came after?
The only story I know is about Prof. Eli Biham from the Technion, where
they came to him, and told him "what you are doing is against the law,
but if you ask for a permit we'll give you one". As far as "coming after
you", I can think of worst examples. As far as I know, they now have the
highest permit available (develop, distribute etc.).
I think the most important point here is that there is no problem at all
with the way the law stands at the moment, but this is a result of the
implementation, not of the written word. To quote the paper that started
this whole thread, is it wise to say that the law is ok just because we
happen to have an enlightened public servant currently doing his job the
way (we believe) he should?
