Ex-Goldman Programmer's Conviction Turned over, Again! Granted my view on Sergy Aleynikov's persecution by New York City's Attorney General, Cyrus Vance, is colored by Michael Lewis's article in Vanity Fair which made clear how contrary to the shareware culture that Goldman and Sachs freely acquires yet insists is exclusively theirs once taken contrary to the terms of its use. Several judges have told Mr. Vance he is barking up the wrong tree, never the less he keeps on going back like a dog you can't shake off. Why is he wasting the court's and the public's time and resources on a luddite's power play?
If authorities are so ignorant of the software shareware culture as they appear to be in this case then imagine a backdoor for government access to encoded data with the dummies plodding around and being taken for a ride by hackers amusing themselves.
