There are plenty of ways to classify the activities of groups like Anonymous. "Cyberterrorism" is more of a loaded political term than anything else. I think the Wikipedia article provides a decent discussion of "cyberterrorism."

It is considered contributory (or authorizing) copyright infringement, and it has been upheld in court, such as with Gershwin Publishing Corp vs Columbia Artists Managment, Inc. It was a major factor in the Grokster case.
Well, that is how it gets used, but doesn't mean stuff gets used in correctly. I mean, look at the term hacker. News media misused it, it spread, and now more people know it as how the news media used it, and not the original meaning. It used to just be someone who made things behave in a way other than what the original intended use was. |

So are gunmakers and vendors serious criminals considering they know that some of the people that buy their products will use them for illegal purposes?

Personally, I do consider the armaments industry to be morally responsible for the death and misery their evil trade causes, but I'd respectfully suggest that that would be a better topic for the P&R forum if you'd like to raise it there.

Heck, with some of the topics that get discussed over and over on discussion forums all the time, it wouldn't surprise me if users are eventually infringing on each other's copyright. |
