      "The right to blackmail is deducible from the general property right in one's person and knowledge and the right to disseminate or not disseminate that knowledge. How can the right to blackmail be denied?" - Murray Rothbard.https://twitter.com/nicoleperlroth/status/1392896596208078849 …

      Can confirm that Colonial Pipeline paid its extortionists 75 Bitcoin on Monday- nearly $5 million- to recover stolen data.

      That is an actual quote? (I never know with Rothbard)

      Yes, but of zero relevance to this situation, which is extortion, not blackmail, and involves harm to other people's property, not merely speaking or publishing information known to you, which is what Rothbard meant by "blackmail."

      I feel like blackmail and extortion overlap enough for relevance! And yes, that's a real quote.

      Replying to @HeerJeet @brianmdoherty @jjimeneza1972

      Oh, well, if you feel it then it must be true. This is more like stealing something and then demanding payment for its return. Rothbard was talking about divulging information that the blackmailer has a right to divulge, unless paid not to. It's not relevant to this at all!

      The extent to which any piece of information can be owned by one party is, I believe, a matter of dispute among libertarians.

          I know of no libertarians who would condone encrypting files on another's network.
