" -- YOU DONT HAVE THE RIGHT TO HIDE INFO, PLUS IM ALREADY IN
I AM POSTING ON MY FTP SERVER
ALL 10 THATS RIGHT 10 THE GOVERNMENT EDITION OF SECURITY.ORG
I AM TIRED OF THIS SECURITY THROUGH OBSCURITY
INFORMATION MUST BE FREE!"
Well whoever you are you are part of the problem not part of the solution... The information is free to anyone who spends a little bit of time learning it... ZEALOTS like you who would have detailed instructions on how to defeat every kind of lock are the problem... Learning the basics of the locksmith trade is as simple as reading a few books and procuring a few basic tools...
Why don't you just crawl back underneath whatever rock you came from... Pass out hammers or something... If you are willing to OPENLY ignore copyright laws by posting information that someone (or even a group of people) worked long and hard for years to compile then you are NOT a locksmith... NOT EVEN CLOSE... I question YOUR ETHICS... It seems to me that you do not take your ALOA membership to heart...
"ALOA's" Code of Ethics:
" -- All members of the ALOA by acceptance and continuance therein, shall be deemed to have subscribed to the following Code of Ethics. That the dignity of our chosen profession may be perpetuated, it is the duty of all members of the ALOA:
To practice their profession in the spirit of fairness to their clients, with fidelity to security in conformance with appropriateness, and with high ideals of personal honor.
To properly and impartially analyze security problems, and to advance the best possible solution for the protection of their clients.
To conduct themselves in a dignified manner.
To abide by applicable licensing and business regulations.
To abstain from using improper or questionable methods of soliciting patronage and to decline to accept such incompatible patronage.
To refrain from associating themselves with or allowing the use of their names by any enterprise of questionable character, or in any manner countenancing misrepresentation.
To cooperate in advancing the best interest of the locksmithing industry by interchange of general information and experience with fellow locksmiths.
To encourage and promote loyalty to the profession, always ready to apply their special knowledge, skill and training for the use and betterment of our industry."
By your willingness to openly post such trade information for just anyone to read is reckless -- it is unethical because it does not comply with keeping your clients secure nor fairness to your fellow tradesmen... Your personal honor is questionable if you follow through with the course of action you have laid out here... Copyright infringement is a FEDERAL OFFENSE... You have no honor if you are willing to knowingly distribute work or materials that are not your own original efforts... I would not do business with you if I knew who you are...
If you truly feel that the locksmithing profession is "elitist" then resign your trade memberships and begin searching for a positive way to get your message across... Do not STEAL the work of others and then give it away... The basis of this country is personal freedom... And part of that is privacy and the right to keep secrets... You sir are an anarchist... Nothing more and nothing less...
I agree with "Aegis" who wrote in his message:
" -- It is the "mentality of secrecy" that makes up a large portion of the security we give to consumers. Your lack of respect for that mentality is actually, in my opinion, doing more harm to that security than good."
