Can someone explain how the government can impose penalties on a person without providing the evidence against them?

Judge William Alsup also ruled on the Oracle/Google case. The more you know! ;)

Don't get me wrong. I'm not supporting a street thug. But law is a logic puzzle mixed with human irrationality. For instance, check out the genius who called me an idiot below. "That's not fair, so it can't be right!" Nope, doesn't work that way.

Personally, I think the value of publishing the data is higher than not tipping your cards to crooks. They know what they left behind.

Proper forensics protocols state that you NEVER work with the original media, only copies.
