Re: FrSIRT Puts Exploits up for Sale

For sale? I wonder how many people are actually going to pay. All they did was subscribe to security mailing list and archive stuff that's already out there. Not to mention you can find all of these exploits elsewhere or you can just google for:

site:frsirt.com + inurl:exploits

There are cached pages for all of their exploits. Sounds a little ridiculous to put stuff they took from elsewhere up for sale.

Oh well.. if it works then what can I say?

Out of curriosity... what right does an author have to ask that they NOT
sell his or her materials?
Does french copyright law support any such author rights?

I personally do not like the thought of Fr-Sirt profiting from my
work... especially after the way they seem to have disrespected authors
like myself in the past.

During European Laws (in mostly ALL countries the same):

If you puplish something without a license it is OPEN DOMAIN
That means people can use it, modify it, sell it...
BUT
There`s one BIG exception:
The Author can prohebit it! And if the autor didn`t made a clear point
(e.g. that his stuff can get sold) it must get mentioned like a "NO"
(contract laws. Like: if you change parts of a contract and you don´t get
an answer it must get noticed as "NO" (something even the german telekom
had to learn...)).

So as long as the original author didn`t angreed it`s totaly illegal to
sell the stuff.
Exeption: E.g. you burn a lot Puplic-Domain stuff on a CD and you sell the
whole CD for e.g. 1-3 EUR (to cover the cost of a CD+energy you needed to
burn it. This is NOT valid for downloads).

Another law:
If a german sues Frist he`ll sue them in germany. If this german is the
original author the judgement will be clear.. and Frist will have another
problem... So autors don´t have to care where the company is from.

All the stuff -> Add some "As far as I know...."
Laws change.. but something never changes..
