- AboveandBeyond, on 11/08/2008, -2/+28Executions will only be allowed if the hack attack "causes [the] death of any person," the Prevention of Electronic Crimes law states.

- pagalchu, on 11/08/2008, -0/+6Salman bhai...keep your voice down. Leieva is right. Obama has openly said that Pakistan is the root of terrorism. Pakistan provides safe haven for terrorists and everyone knows that. I just can't wait till Obama starts from bottom up.

- ICanRead, on 11/08/2008, -0/+4Pakistan = Overreaction
The media has been tempering the US on this for 4 years now and it clearly applies to DIgg too. The law is very vague. It needs to b fixed,but if someone hacks a hospital or military installation resulting in deaths then the Death penalty versus 20 years does not seem over the top.
The US and Pakistan are false allies. - inactive, on 11/08/2008, -3/+7Yes.
Windows 95. - inactive, on 11/08/2008, -0/+2Actually I can because I lived there 15 years ago for a couple of months.
So why don't you go and crawl back into the ***** you dropped out of? - th3seaw0lf, on 11/08/2008, -0/+2You all are getting this all wrong.
You need to understand the ground realities in Pakistan. This law was not made for nerdy hackers or other such assorted cyber petty criminals, this is about hardcore TERRORISTS. the kind that kill people.
You see, internet is a wonderful medium of communication, it helps terrorists and saints alike. so, people who want to bomb a certain place (e.g Marriot in Islamabad) and want to be in perfect coordination with their other friends, the perfectly anonymous way for them is via internet. Phone calls, lines and locations are easily traceable.
Such activities, whose eventual aim is killing large numbers of people by acts of bombings and terrorism, only they are targeted under this law. So, only real TERRORISTS who use internet to kill REAL people will come under this law. - str3ama, on 11/08/2008, -5/+7I see this as an International problem. The punishment for cyber crimes is generally too strict, I mean 10 years of jail time for e-mail spam to me is a bit much. In Thailand I believe that a few people were already given capital punishment for this. In this case it clearly states that capital punishment will only be sanctioned if the cyber attack results in death - which would be no stranger then laws that are existent in some states like Texas - where a murderer could be killed as punishment
I think the definition of cyber terror, which we know to be hacking or cyber crimes, that they are using is one involving terrorism or planning of terrorist activities. So if you're involved in the planning of a terrorist attack that gets carried out and people are killed, you will be held accountable and can face the death penalty. This is no different then most countries, in fact even the US is vying for the death of Obama Bin Laden. The only weird part is the stipulation of what constitutes a cyber crime which could in theory be abused and used to encompass a whole lot of other activities, such as (d) stealing could be extended toward piracy - and further dragged out to say it robs or 'kills' the developers of their livelihood. But again that's stretching it, this is no worse the the Patriot Act and some of you are just incited by the fact that it's Muslim country - either that or you didn't read the article. - kaidovak, on 11/08/2008, -0/+2I thought just about any action that "causes [the] death of any person" could already be punished by death in Pakistan. This is just an update to existing homocide laws.
- Akairenn, on 11/08/2008, -0/+2No, I just sighed, given that our troops are next door in Afghanistan.
I would've laughed, but you were too convincing as a Freedom-lovin', flag-wavin', 'murrican who gets countries ending in 'stan confused. - smartsalman, on 11/08/2008, -0/+2@pagalchu
ur saying all terrorist are Muslims?! Are you out of your friggin mind?! Oklahoma city bombing? School shooting? that was done by Muslims?!
get your ***** facts right bud. - dusanmal, on 11/08/2008, -2/+4"The punishment for cyber crimes is generally too strict, I mean 10 years of jail time for e-mail spam to me is a bit much" ... Too much? I'd say 999 out of 1000 (if not more) people on the Internet would agree that life in jail for spamming is just about right. It is equivalent of electronic rape and should be renamed thus.
- kasperu, on 11/08/2008, -1/+3If I tell a guy to piss off, and he do suicide, am I responsiable for that? If I tell a girl online I love her, and then piss off, she kills herself, is that my problem?
if I tell a girl that suicide feels good, and she does it, should I go to prison? Get your own mind. If someone can be talked into suicide, then someone should probably have given them the shrinks number. No right-minded individual would commit suicide because someone say something online. And if someone didnt tell em', they probably would have been so unstable anyway that they will take their own life later in life. - K4emic, on 11/08/2008, -0/+2I, for one, don't give a ***** about how long spammers is going to sit in jail for filling up inboxes with ads for viagra and fake Rolex watches.
- twiztidsinz, on 11/08/2008, -1/+3They got the ***** back to 4chan... just like you should.
- JK1947, on 11/12/2008, -0/+1Thats Cool and Sad at the same time. Its about time those hackers got punished. But still, thats too much of punishment. Living in Pakistan, I am glad that I am no hacker. ;)
PS: lemur, most of the people here even wouldn't understand what you have written. - K4emic, on 11/08/2008, -3/+4What happened to rule 1 & 2?
- inactive, on 11/08/2008, -1/+2***** THE CYBERS!
- Karty, on 11/08/2008, -1/+2Pakistan needs to chill the ***** out.
- JSager, on 11/08/2008, -5/+6So NOW do you left wing nutbags still think we should pull our troops out of there?
Just kidding, I'm a democrat. But I bet you got all riled up. - ICanRead, on 11/09/2008, -0/+1Rule 1 and 2 apply to raids only. For someone who rarely chans you must be the newest of newfags that has turned that site from the extremeness of shock humor into simply a cesspool of amateur trolls.
- firefly2271, on 11/08/2008, -1/+2capital punishment for spammers should be one lash for every spam email sent :D
- burhaan, on 11/10/2008, -0/+1reasonably accurate
- firefly2271, on 11/09/2008, -0/+1absoluty
hey everyone in this thread, go jump off a cliff and kill yourselves.
that's me up for mass murder then - inactive, on 11/08/2008, -0/+1Christians once held this honor.. northern ireland maybe? ring any bells??
- Louis11, on 11/09/2008, -0/+1Don't you just love it when spammers are too damn cheap to by their own domain names?
- PopcornDave, on 11/08/2008, -0/+1Sure CP/M
- nubnub99, on 11/08/2008, -1/+2I'm against death penalty, but I agree punishment should be more severe. There are plenty of cases where some sick psychopath talks a girl into committing suicide.
- BuzzLightyear, on 11/09/2008, -0/+1So what are the chances of those in the Pakistani legal system actually understanding the nuances of technical cases and what actually constitutes "hacking". The blunt justice that will follow will only reinforce prejudice against developing muslim countries.
This isn't progress. - NodOfficer, on 11/08/2008, -0/+1You can thank the media for throwing around the term cyberterrorist and terrorist around like a buzzword.
Teenager defaces a music site - HOLY ***** CYBERTERRORIST!!1 - str3ama, on 11/08/2008, -0/+1spam is the same as rape, really? Honestly I don't think anyone stays up late from the stigma of being the victim of a spammer. Maybe I'm wrong - but I haven't heard of anyone being tormented by an email to "extend your penis" or but a fake rolex watch.
- antdude, on 11/08/2008, -0/+1The fewer the idiots, the better.
- inactive, on 11/08/2008, -4/+5exercute all spammers :)
- inactive, on 11/08/2008, -1/+2I am sure this law has been introduced due to USA's pressure
- pagalchu, on 11/10/2008, -0/+0Ok. can I say 99.99% terrorist are muslim then?
