Appeals court overturns conviction of Andrew “weev” Auernheimer in iPad hacking case

Ok, let’s at least have our facts correct.

He didn’t just innocently ‘change some URL characters’ and lo and behold, all this personal data fell in his lap. He and his group discovered a security hole and then wrote scripts to exploit it as much as they could. When the EFF and BoingBoing characterizes this as something anybody’s mom could’ve done on their own, it’s more than a little silly.
