I expect before we're done govt will say, "Welp, Hutchins is British so of COURSE he takes his understanding of a word that is part of his alias, malware, from the OED. But we also expect him to understand US Miranda rights."

I'm confused.
@MalwareTechBlog is primarily accused of manufacturing malware. But not even his malware-sending defendant was wiretapping.pic.twitter.com/po5cOxT4er

Page 10 of the brief spends an entire page digging through dictionaries for a definition that helps the govt. https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4441093-Brief-in-Opposition-to-Motion.html … As someone w/a PhD in language games, even I find this ridiculous.

@MalwareTechBlog, a second time: Please show me the 10 computers damaged under CFAA. USG (after having said "no" once): Let me redefine that as "how malware works." https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/4441092-Brief-in-Opposition-to-Motion.html …pic.twitter.com/UrMSxdszTm

Aside from the other dickish aspects of this passage (not least that
@MalwareTechBlog never claimed he didn't understand English), the swipe "self-proclaimed" is pretty obnoxious. Also, what does attending DefCon have to do with understanding English?pic.twitter.com/Busy8ZubkO

USG has *just* made a big deal out of whether someone does or does not understand English. But here, they're suggesting @MalwareTechLab should have taken the question, "Are you drunk?" to mean, "Are you drunk, doped, or tired?"pic.twitter.com/JhCfKUlrKs

And fin.
@MalwareTechLab has a hearing today that I won't attend bc I've escaped to the UK, where the weather actually is nice, not like MI and WI.
