- It doesn't matter that UC Berkeley thought publishing an unupdateable
- schedule on-line was a bad idea. As a unit of government, they are
- obligated morally and (if California has a freedom of information act)
- legally to release such information.
-
- Even worse, after failing in their duty to release the information,
- they tried to punish the student for exercising his *right* to publish it.
-
- (In other words, I think that his
- 1) unpluging a data cable
- 2) using the cable
- 3) plugging the cable back in
- was considered an offense *only* because of the content of the data
- extracted.)
