@WPalant it's bad enough that we have bad laws, and judges without any tech understanding, but why would that company sue him in the first place?!?

@madeingermany They didn’t sue, this isn’t a civil case. They rather reported him to the authorities. Because – why not retaliate against someone who caused bad press? It’s cheap and easy, doesn’t cost them anything.

@WPalant he could have downloaded and sold the data - he'd be richer and not in legal trouble right now.

@madeingermany Yep, this law certainly does disproportionately affect people who have moral principles.
