Yes.. but it was MIT that pushed the feds to prosecute.

Never forge to name the proper perp.

Because he literally broke into a server room and installed hardware to harvest this data.

There's no world where any organization, for profit or otherwise, would tolerate that. Even your local library would call the damn cops if you tried that.

You don’t respond to anything they say directly

You do it twice in the same thread

You call something context without providing context
