Re: Barry Bonds indicted
[ QUOTE ]
[ QUOTE ] Your referral to Son of Sam laws is completely irrelevant, because while, yeah, they're likely to be "special reporters" because of the book, they're not profiting from illegal activity [/ QUOTE ] So you don't think they are profiting from the illegal leaking of the testimony? How else would they get their story? Do you think the lawyer just leaked it for [censored] and giggles to whoever he felt like? Of course not, he leaked it to them because they went looking for it and they got it. Claiming that these reporters are just innocent observers of the process is a [censored] joke, when they engaged in a concerted, cooperative effort with someone they knew to be a criminal to conceal him from justice. Get [censored] real, of course they profited from the crime. [/ QUOTE ] Reading comprehension FTW. The law IS ONLY IN PLACE TO PREVENT PROFITS FROM THE SALE OF THINGS LIKE BOOKS, AND TO STOP PEOPLE EITHER DIRECTLY INVOLVED OR CLOSE TO THOSE INVOLVED FROM GETTING MOVIE DEALS, ETC. Not only that, but you completely ignored the fact that I said these laws do NOT exist nationwide. Its simple - as a reporter, if you want a story, you look for someone who can help you. The guy who leaked it did his time, and they would've done time for keeping his confidentiality. THIS IS STANDARD JOURNALISM. Now, obviously they could choose not to use leaked material, but that's ethics, not law. The two authors didn't commit a crime themselves (well, other than refusing to reveal their source) and never served time as their source revealed himself before they went to prison. Look it up, and get the [censored] real yourself. It'll take 20 seconds of Google to learn what a Son Of Sam law is for yourself, I suggest you do it. Jesus Christ. |
