Using a harvested demo account to log in to a service you dont have permission to access, WCGW?
Yeah. If we can say it's relevant when their videos got stolen that the video distribution site had very poor OPSEC, I think we can say it's relevant when he gets prosecuted that this guy had pretty poor journalistic OPSEC.
Use Tor. Download videos. Hey buddy where'd you get the videos? From a source, a journalistic source I'm not divulging, GFY, if you think something bad happened then prove it.
(I'm sitting in judgment when I don't really know; for all I know he did everything right and his lawyer decided that this would be the best tack to take to defend the case, just to lay out what happened and argue that it wasn't a crime.)
To me it sounds like they should be going after LiveU for not properly securing their videos, and going after the journalist is retribution. But that would also require the government to acknowledge that their own security isn't a joke.
(It would also require them to stop supporting fascists, which America is seemingly unable to do)
