Why are you on the Full Disclosure mailing list again?

You do realize that the concept of Full Disclosure includes analyzing 
defacement sites and that there is, in fact, a legitimate reason to have 
that archive available, right?

If the Secret Service or the FBI or whoever were to commit "war" on this 
type of act, the next thing is crime dramas, books on criminal activity 
and history, and other such materials.

Goodbye CSI, goodbye Law and Order, goodbye large portions of 
libraries... all of them "promote" criminal acts in the same way as 
places like Zone-H... if you can even call it "promotion"...

But, that's part of living in a free society.  Open access to 
information is a price that you pay for that right, and it's a benefit 
that you reap from it as well.  I dare say that everyone on this list 
has personally benefitted from that very freedom.

Why do you, n3td3v, hate freedom?  Why do you, like so many unthinking 
people, personally rail against your own best interests?  Do you 
honestly believe that site defacements would just go away if archive 
sites didn't exist?  Please... spare us that line of (un)thought.
