Hey Mafferick, I'm a writer at Mashable, can you get in touch? my email is [email protected] we'd like to use your friend's pictures in a gallery.

Thanks!

Orin, Lorenzo, reporter from Mashable here. You are going to defend Weev in his appeal. And he, obviously, is one of the most famous CFAA cases and quite an unpopular character (by his own admission). It's very easy for the government to "demonize" hackers like him. As advocates for CFAA reform, how do you plan on making hackers like Weev a good example of how the CFAA needs to be revamped?

Yeah, of course. I agree. But what I meant is: how do you explain to the public and politicians in general that even in the case of the "unlikeable" Weev we need CFAA reform? My feeling is the public and Congress just don't "get it" because they see hackers as spooky individuals that could launch a nuclear weapon with a phone call.

Thanks!

Thanks for the answers.
