who said that you still technically cannot disseminate the results? bulletproof hosting and private communications still exist. if law is being used to harm the consumer, the consumer in question has full moral right to speak out against it, and taking ownership of your hardware (like OP tells they did) is one of the best ways

I believe you are responding to somebody commenting on the legal restrictions rather than the technical ones. It appears that you may have hallucinated the word "technical" in your response.
