Subject: Re: The reason why NoW is under pressure is because they used the eavesdropping for profit. Not that intelligence agencies don't engage in industrial espionage that will later end up in the hands of private companies for profit.

Übergeek 바둑이: No. It's because of how low they went. Hacking politicians and celebs.. they live and die in the press to a certain degree.

But hacking phones of Dead soldiers families, 7/7 and those of girls who whose murders were under investigation is a step to far.

"Isn't eavesdropping on people what police and intelligence agencies have been doing for the last 200 years?"

Yes. Unfortunately we have people that are actively engaged in anti-social activities such as murder and war.

"The reality is that the media, the police, intelligence agencies and politicians play a game that is well integrated...."

I'm not so sure on that. They have been fouling up alot and getting noticed.
