Their idea of fairness was the fact that they couldn't prove anything but that he made the change. Whether he placed a pirated copy of a game in the console is unknown, because the persecution witness (not a typo) never claimed at any time before that Crippen had done this. Not until Sunday, supposedly.
Yeah, right. It sounds like they were trying to prove what they claimed they didn't have to prove in the first place, that he KNEW he was doing something illegal, and were grasping at straws by having the witness claim this. There was no proof Crippen placed anything in the console, much less a pirated game. |
I thought that he was being prosecuted for selling DRM-circumvention devices (illegal under the DMCA), not for software piracy? Since when has not knowing that you're doing something illegal been a valid defence?
