Obama New Hacking Laws: Sharing your HBO GO = Felony

[Ja Rhule]

 

"Under the new proposal, sharing your HBO GO password with a friend would be a felony," Nate Cardozo, an attorney with the Electronic Frontier Foundation in San Francisco, told an audience of researchers and IT pros Saturday (Jan. 17) at ShmooCon 2015, a security conference held annually in Washington, D.C.

I'd like someone to share HBO Go with me... anybody want to share it?

 

I can offer you pie in exchange, and probably violate some interstate commerce laws while I'm at it.

 

 

 

So... PM?

LOL at blaming HBO for this...

They practically came out and said "please keep pirating our shows." Especially Game of Thrones.
