I dunno, something about the stories that are coming out of the USA are constantly reminding my of George Orwell's nineteen eight four I mean seriously this person who tracked the kids IP was praised instead of jailed for Hacking......isnt Hacking a cyber-crime?
I thought sarcasm was just part of being a troll? |

I thought sarcasm was just part of being a troll? The funny thing about this is the poster one or two above you who has a George Orwell quote in his sig yet seems to be an advocate for Orwellian practices.
Ahaha, I didn't even notice that, but then I don't tend to read peoples sigs just what they have typed as a comment but then as everything seems to be heading down that way Orwell seems appropriate,

I thought sarcasm was just part of being a troll? As much as the trend scares me, it's not a US thing. The UK in particular has really started to crack down on things they consider hate speech. Side note: Looking up IPs is far from illegal or hacking (there are in fact public registrars like http://whois.net/ ). It's more likely that he was found via social networking or some online persona, which again, is pretty mundane. A different article said it was a Facebook game, that makes it really easy to track the players.
From whats being said in the papers (yes i know papers are not a form of getting great intel xD) that the game was LoL |

but this is a country where a judge is going to jail becuase he had a deal with a jail owner so he send pretty much ever minor to jail for years for minor law violations just so they could profit of it (jails being a for profit business in the USA)
No other country jails more. But all is still possible because not enough self-policing. If society has to enforce morality/ethics (and not the individual) they'll use the biggest clubs available, and as indiscriminately too. Not 1984 style, Clockwork Orange style. Self-policing keeps it under the radar. If you let the powers-that-be shine their laser on it because they now know about it, the interest can even be incinerated as the powers-that-be will do anything to remain in power.
Yeah good point with the Clockwork orange though It does seem that you associate both books with most countries now-a-days.
But 8 years in jail is too steep even to make him a point for gamers who use sarcasm to reply to others in my eyes anyway

I thought sarcasm was just part of being a troll? It happened in a discussion about LoL on Facebook, not in LoL itself.
Okay dude thanks for clearing that up for me from what I read it said it was on lol and he received a pm on there |
