The Macalope Weekly: What a letdown!

01.05.2010

No, no, no! Cut, cut, cut!

Dude, you're doing it wrong! This is your 15 minutes! You're supposed to be standing on a soap box, going on and on about the First Amendment and how this legal action creates a chilling effect on !

It's almost as if the guy feels like he did something wrong. But that can't be the case, of course. How silly. The First Amendment nullifies felonies!

The Macalope's not sure this case rises to the level of police involvement we generally reserve for spies, terrorists, and pedophiles. But at the same time, he'd better not hear anyone from the EFF ever complain about lack of police interest when someone breaks into their house and steals their Linux netbook.

After all, the thief might be a journalist.
