A North Dakota judge issued a ruling in Sierra Corporate Design v. Ritz that has some pretty stunning implications about the use of the "host -l" command when accessing DNS records. In the judgment (which was prepared by the plaintiff's counsel and sent to the judge), the use of the "host -l" command is tantamount to computer hijacking and hacking.
Okay, now this is just absolutely ridiculous. Accessing public information has become a crime? Just because this spam-sending piece of shit was too stupid to cover his ass? Jesus. Probably shouldn't say all that - he might sue me. This is almost as good as the guy sending angry emails to the CentOS developers about hacking his website with their default installation page.
Nope, still no content. None. Not even a little bit. Scraping the bottom of the barrel. Nothing.
