If I make malware that attacks government services I get ASIO’d and can’t even let my family or a lawyer know I’ve been held and interrogated.

If clammy sammy does it the government buys the product and makes piracy for rich failsons legal.

Someone make this make sense.

      Where’d you find that? All I see is

      Back in Australia, Acting Prime Minister Richard Marles said the fact a non-human AI agent gained unauthorised access represented “a very serious incident”, but the impact on the system was minor.

        ‘Legal situation’ under investigation

        Marles said the government had established a taskforce led by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet that was working with the Australian Signals Directorate and the AI Safety Institute.

        “We will look at what is the legal situation in respect of this and what it means to have gained an unauthorised access, albeit in an unintended way,” the acting prime minister said.
