It’s been a few weeks of encrypted emails back and forth, working
out the security protocol to follow for interviewing Doyon, one of the brains
behind Anonymous, now a fugitive from the FBI.
Doyon, who readily admits
taking part in some of the highest-profile hacktivist attacks on websites last
year — from Tunisia to Orlando, Sony to PayPal — was arrested in September for a
comparatively minor assault on the county website of Santa Cruz, Calif., where
he was living, in retaliation for the town forcibly removing a homeless
encampment on the courthouse steps.
The “virtual sit-in” lasted half an
hour. For that, Doyon is facing 15 years in jail.
Or at least he was facing
15 years in jail, until he crossed the border into Canada in February to avoid
prosecution

If you divide 15 million lines of code by 9 lines of infringing code you get
1.67 million possible 9 line groups. If you let each group be 1 dot on a laser
printer at 300 dpi, you would need a piece of paper 5,555 inches long or about
463 feet. Somewhere on that paper there would be a dot .003" in diameter
representing the amount of infringement...

Why is it that it appears to be *only* lawyers who feel that
Software Patents are a good idea, given they have generated
*Millions* of dollars in litigation that could better have
been used in actually creating software.
Oh - wait - never mind.
