Why cryptome sold web logs to their paying customers?
by Michael Best 12 Oct '15

Yes, my vendetta is so complex and well schemed that I got John to say the problem was the ISP, and I got coderman to agree that the ISP is shite and he and others are wondering what will be the final straw. My turning that statement into a question was just the logical extension of what you've exposed as a clearly merciless attack against JYA. *cue eyeroll* As opposed to his accusations against me, (spy, disinfo, faked data, stole data, "overstated" his "understated" admission, etc.) all I've done is present data proving what John did, and only to get the discussion on the GCHQ slide to move forward. On 10/11/2015 07:27 PM, Michael Best wrote: >* Any chance you'll look for a new ISP, John? *> And there you have it. Michale Best engaged in a vendetta for some reason against JYA. Sounds like a lovers quarrel. RR

Normally I'd give you the benefit of the doubt, John, but the last time in this discussion you said something was disinfo it was the logs. > Date: Sun, 11 Oct 2015 20:21:24 -0400 > From: John Young <jya(a)pipeline.com> > To: cypherpunks(a)cpunks.org > Subject: Re: ***SPAM*** Re: Why cryptome sold web logs to their paying > customers? > Message-ID: <E1ZlQqs-0004zf-Hg(a)elasmtp-masked.atl.sa.earthlink.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"; format=flowed > > At 08:03 PM 10/11/2015, you wrote: > >The Netsol support pages are disinfo? bullshit > > They are indeed that.

Then I asked open endedly on Twitter. Also, you seem to be confusing this list with the community of Cryptome's visitors. There's overlap, sure, but they are *not* the same. Plus, John deleted the early emails I made to the Cryptome list, which is more explicitly the mailing list that would be best identified as the community you're referring to.

Each depends on the situation, and whether or not fair use applies. If there are mechanisms in place to sell or license the content, fair use is less likely to apply. So far, I haven't had any big problems with IA despite 100k+ items, several TB of data and 1% their text library. Will somethings be an issue? Maybe, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it and not worry about it until I know what chasm I have to cross and where. Provenance etc. is situation dependent, no categorical answer exists that isn't a bald faced lie.
