Left versus Right as a Political shorthand is nonsense. The true Political spectrum is Libertarian versus Authoritarian

Tough Law regarding something Law doesn't understand
Cyrus Vance, Manhattan District Attorney, released yesterday a 112 page report on white collar cyber crime. I am not convinced that the report knows of what it talks about when it mentions the District Attorney's office is prosecuting Sergey Aleynikov, a former programmer at Goldman Sachs and the subject of a Michael Lewis article in Vanity Fair which convinces me, a big supporter of collaborative programming, that Vance doesn't understand open source. The Federal court threw out the Aleynikov conviction for pretty much being stupid and it appears the same the 112 page report is tainted with intellectual property grabbed from open source and then arbitrarily named as proprietary by Goldman Sachs accusatory legalese stupidity as well.
