Discussion
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-17628600
"The broadcaster revealed it hacked emails belonging to John Darwin - who faked his own death in a canoe - and his wife Anne.
It also said that it accessed the email accounts of a suspected paedophile and his wife.
Sky News said the action was in the public interest and amounted to "responsible journalism".
...
"We stand by these actions as editorially justified and in the public interest."
Nice to see that they consider their illegal hackings "responsible". NI really is rotten to the core.

Excellent, does that mean groups like anonymous and wikileaks are now off the hook exposing our and US government corruption. Thats in the public interest too. Oh no, I forgot the powers that be have the national security/terrorist "get out of jail free" card to use don't they."The broadcaster revealed it hacked emails belonging to John Darwin - who faked his own death in a canoe - and his wife Anne.

Cannot believe it is illegal to ring a mobile, press # and then 0000.
How ridiculous.
Doing that by accident - not illegal. Doing it deliberately with the aim of taking something that you shouldn't have - illegal. It's all about the Mens Rea.How ridiculous.

It isn't much different to someone entering your unlocked car - the fact that it is unlocked or open makes no difference.
What I really don't get, is what actionable harm was suffered by the various celebs who have been paid off.

The celebs, not so much - they got plenty of publicity. Ordinary members of the public are more of a concern. It isn't much different to someone entering your unlocked car - the fact that it is unlocked or open makes no difference.

You missed it the other day when the PH'er went absolutely ballistic that I posted a link to his Twitter account and business website and made all sorts of threats towards me. It isn't much different to someone entering your unlocked car - the fact that it is unlocked or open makes no difference.

ROFL, maybe a comeback for BBC F1 coverage yet!
While a devilish ph plot to get F1 back on BBC1, very worst case scenario, fit and proper test failure the murdoxh's had to sell their 49% stake, there'd be a queue of people ready to buy the cash cow, Sky is not going anywhere, Murdoch control of it, or the News Corp holding co. on the other hand.... It will all be sorted out or not by the US gov or Rupe's shareholders.ROFL, maybe a comeback for BBC F1 coverage yet!
