DECAF Was Just a Stunt, Now Over 206
An anonymous reader writes to tell us of the de-activation of all copies of DECAF. The creators have announced that the DECAF project was nothing more than a "stunt to raise awareness for security and the need for better forensic tools." Originally DECAF was billed as a tool to stop Microsoft's forensic tool "COFEE" and was covered here earlier this week. In addition to their message of security the authors somehow manage to interject a discussion about religion, so who knows what the real goal was.

"As you probably noticed, your copy of DECAF no longer works. We have disabled every copy of DECAF."
They left the ability in to remotely control how the software behaves. Anyone who installed this let this be a lesson for you.

If that had been opened sourced, everyone would have seen that this wasn't for real.

Your answer clarifies the problem.
I'm going to do a bit of politics myself and see if I can influence things then. I actually went to a town hall meeting this month for the first time. I know one person who is a municipal councillor and he invited me because of my interests in politics. I suppose we should all do this and slowly nudge the laws towards liberty ourselves. If most politicians want power for power's sake like you say, that would be the only way to change things.
He did tell me that if I was really interested I could become influential with time, but that you had to know people that are already in the game to play it properly...
Sad isn't it?
