Apple execs: "Children already die in sweatshops making our phones. No one cares."

Yeah, you know what? The police and DOJ and all these fuck heads can shove it up their ass. Police are encrypting there two-way radio communications and I could lose my life because I didn't hear about the gunner down the street on my scanner.

Fuck the feds!

Funny they never complain about Truecrypt. You would think the child porn assholes would encrypt their computer, but you hear it all the time that a computer was found to have child porn and all that shit. ALL my computers are encrypted! No child porn, but why risk a police invasion? LOL!

I wonder how many people have died because a nosey spouse saw something they didn't like on their partner's unlocked phone... like pictures of them getting plowed by someone else. :)

It's pretty sad how they have to stoop to that level, and even more sad that the general public falls for it.

Yeah there might be the odd case where it's true, but chances are encryption or not the bad guy was going to do it anyway. Unfortunately there are terrible people out there, but not everyone should be penalized for it.

And the government is not worried about murders, if they were, they'd do something about the drug cartels and school shootings. The cartel tortures and executions make ISIS look like teddy bears and it's all happening right on US soil. This is all about copyright infringement bull crap, that's all it is. To the government, piracy and other "computer crime" is pretty much on the same level as terrorism, if higher. At the end of the day it's all because of money.

Phones are a great way to get people in jail because lot of people store movies and MP3s on them. Though it's kind of surprising that you don't hear of that too often. Cops could easily just grab phones off people and start checking them but I have not heard too much of this being a trend unless you're trying to record them.
Can't agree with you on the copyright angle. If there are any cases of people being charged for copyright infringement because of what an officer or agency found on their phone, I haven't heard of it.

I don't know about phones but there have been cases of traffic stops resulting in copyright infringement charges based on the presence of home burned CD's.

Really? Home Recording Act of America should protect US citizens from that. Link?
