For those who had a 1/2 mind to send the federal mounties after me...
the joke is on you... They are after you now for misleading information.
--Scott Wiper da571@freenet.carleton.ca
For those still have those old obsolete PC's
I am the one who can breath new life into them, or if you need help?
Down for complete rebuild will let you know
Some asshole walt@orbit.ocunix.on.ca (Walt Sullivan) sayed:
First, I am NOT associated with National Capitol Freenet, Elgin
Computers, "darrob" or Scott Wiper, nor have I seen the Web page in
question. I should probably be clever enough to refrain from posting
this, too, but ...
IANAL
Logically, either Scott Wiper's NCF Web page contained illegal data,
or it did not.
First, let us assume that Scott Wiper's NCF Web page DID contain
illegal data. If so, NCF's legal liability was joined to the legal
liability of Scott Wiper the moment that NCF was informed of the
illegal data on Scott Wiper's NCF Web page. That is, NCF would be as
"bad" as Scott Wiper if they continued providing the illegal data once
they knew about it. Thus, their quick removal of the web page in
question was not only justified, but necessary, in order to shield NCF
from liability.
Second, assuming that Scott Wiper's NCF Web page DID NOT contain
illegal data, NCF's quick removal of the page was still justified and
necessary to avoid the possibility stated above. The NCF did inform
Scott Wiper of what they had done, did they not? At that point, if
Scott Wiper could have shown NCF that the data he had put on the Scott
Wiper NCF Web page was NOT illegal, they should have reinstated the
page, and, perhaps, offered an apology. I don't think that took place.
If Scott Wiper could have proved in a court of law that, by
"arbitrarily" removing his non-illegal Web page from the NCF's
computer, the NCF had caused Scott Wiper actual damage, he might have
been able to recover damages from NCF, depending on the Usage
Agreement between Scott Wiper and the NCF, and the NCF's Acceptable
Use Policy. Perhaps Scott Wiper could have recovered the fees charged
him by the National Capitol FREEnet, perhaps not.

Come, children, can we not reason together, logically? More light,
less heat, please.

IANAL = I Am Not A Lawyer
Then shut the fuck up, I have complained to the CRTC and the Fedral Mounted
Police. They will fix NCF and iSTAR for illegal censorship of my webpages
The facts on the National Capital Freene shut down and block;
I would like to first thank some individuals for there comments fro the
peanut gallery.
1. First fact. I f the contents of newseria.html was improper would had
now been in the best interest of the NATIONAL CAPITAL FREENET, to ask me
politely to remove the page? If I was asked I would have pulled it within
hours of there requests. But instaed they acted somelike KNEE BUCKELING
FRENCH COWARDS. (To french Speaking poeple, do not take offence to that
statement. There is no other way to word and stay polite.) I would like
to add if you go to my search page and use any of the search engines and
type the following text. "HACKS_CRACKS_WAREZ" you will get a list of
about ten thousand sites containing material ten times more offencive
then in newseria.html. I have come accross sites that had links to NETWORK
ASSOCIATES (MCAFEE) licenced ftp server. I informed them and the "hole
has been closed." There were no such links on the page newseria.html on
freenet. Just the numbers with the following text on the top. "FOR
EDUCATIONAL AND VIEWING PURPOSES ONLY." That clearly means in the legal
profession it's just entertainment and fun.
2. Second fact. I could sue the NATIONAL CAPITAL FREENET toting the fine
line like they have if this was UNITED STATES. I would win in hours
because I can prove the page was for entertainment and fun.(FOR
EDUCATIONAL AND VIEWING PURPOSES.) The NATIONAL CAPITAL FREENET would
have to publicly apologize for (A) Not informing me of the improper
content of newseria.html (B) They would have to refund my donation. I
would get millions on top of that. As for the BIBLE THUMPING gentleman I
read and re-read the policy concerning this and there is none on this
matter infact there policies don't cover this matter. So the NATIONAL
CAPITAL FREENET is guilty of baligerence towards there users and somewhat
like politicians screwing up and then trying to cover it up.
3. Third fact. When I confonted Miss Natalie Munrow she became beligerent
rude condencending and defencive. She basiclly siad to me (I am now
picking at her words like a lawyer.) 'I know we srewed up when we did'nt
tell you and get the "fuck" out my office because I don't to be bothered
with you.' Most domains will at least ask to pull the page newseria.html
before locking me out. But they are covering up I can still use freenet
but not my WWW directory. Is this not a contradiction in terms of there
policy? Answer that question before calling me an ass. Because "ASSUME"
you make an 'ass out of you and me.' I will be contacting the dean of
public relations at Carleton University to have him straiten out this
matter.

The above defense is nothing more than a myth perpetuated by people who think that if they put some form of legalese double-speak at the head of a document containing suspect material that they will be shielded from all persecution or litigation. Have you ever stopped to ask yourself if you think that a judge or jury is really as naive as that? Ask yourself these questions, and try to look at it from a judges perspective: Q: What is the nature of the allegedly illegal material? A: serial numbers, usernames and passwords to copyrighted material Q: Is there any legal use for these dataforms for other than the original purchaser of the software / product that uses the stated username, password or serial number? A: no. Q: Is there any form of 'entertainment' or 'fun' that can be derived from the viewing of such data from non-legitimate owners or non-owners of the related software / products? A: no. Q: Is there any legal reason for publishing these dataforms? A: no. Q: Was the permission of the copyright holders of said software obtained before publishing this information (Since all the manuals and packaging containing said data is copyrighted)? A: no. Q: Would this then imply a further illegal act of copyright infringement? A: Most likely. Q: Would this then imply theft under $5000 or theft over $5000 from the unauthorized use of said data? A: probably. Q: Could the publishing of said data be construed as contributing towards the commission of a crime? A: Probably. As it is, your contacting the RCMP as well as re-publishing the data will probably cost you your computer and all related files, papers and peripherals, as well as a criminal charge. If any of the listed software vendors is feeling particularly offended at your post, they will have also notified their local Attorney- general, computer crimes unit of their local police, the Anti-Piracy Association (their local chapter), the FBI (Since most of these packages are from american firms, the RCMP (since the alleged offence is committed in Canada), as probably their attorneys, as well. Was it worth it? Free speech does NOT cover the dissemination of stolen information. -- -Marc Bissonnette Internalysis Corporate Competitive Intelligence, Research and Results http://www.internalysis.com
