"On Thursday, the Department of Justice released more than 3 million additional materials, media, and documents as part of the files related to the investigation of billionaire pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. The files are, as expected, sordid and horrifying-millions of pages of emails, photos, and videos tied to one of the most notorious sex traffickers in modern history. They have also become a source of something unexpected: digital piracy."
"Yes, using the DOJ's website, users are pilfering software and documents from the Epstein files. Among other things, they're able to activate software, download e-books, and pirate copyright reference manuals directly from what was dropped last week. While absurd, it's a revealing illustration of how the department mishandled this release-and resulted in far more serious harm to Epstein's victims along the way."
More than three million materials related to Jeffrey Epstein, including emails, photos, and videos, were released by the Department of Justice. The files contain extensive, sordid evidence tied to Epstein's sex trafficking and include decades of associated books, articles, and documents. Public access to the files allowed users to download e-books, activate software, and pirate copyrighted materials directly from the release. The release exposed product keys and reference manuals, enabling misuse such as activating Windows and distributing technical manuals. The mishandled publication created new privacy, legal, and ethical risks and compounded harm to victims.
