Interview With The Lawyer of Anonymous

Interview With The Lawyer of Anonymous https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t73n4SEz1Zo Everyone knows about Anonymous, the hacktivist group that performs cyber ops to advance social and political change. Now, meet Jay Leiderman, the California-based lawyer who represents Anonymous, that too, pro bono. Jay Leiderman, a California defense attorney known for his whistleblower advocacy and defense of political dissidents and hackers, was confirmed dead in Ventura County last year. He was 50 years old. Dubbed the “Hacktivist’s Advocate” by The Atlantic in 2012, Leiderman gained national attention for his pro-bono work for clients accused of crashing corporate and government websites, including members of the group Anonymous. Rarely Good Cases Leiderman’s hacking clients had a nagging habit of openly admitting to the things they were accused of doing. One spent a decade evading police in several countries, giving interviews all the while on the lam. (The client was captured in June 2021.) Still, their causes struck a chord with the Queens-born attorney, who’d long held to a rebellious legal philosophy. After a city in California passed a law criminalizing homelessness, the same client knocked down its website for under an hour. Where the FBI saw a felony computer crime worth up to 15 years in prison, Leiderman saw a peaceful protest over an unjust law; a protest, he noted, that caused no perceptible harm. Leaving a Legacy Leiderman, who’s survived by his nine-year-old son Lydon, passed away of an apparent heart attack, his brother Craig said in a brief statement. Ventura’s medical examiner said an exact cause of his passing would likely take months to certify. More About Leiderman Other noteworthy cases Leiderman defended include Louis Gonzalez’s, who was falsely accused of misconduct, attempted manslaughter and torture by the mother of his child and was jailed for 83 days before he was released and ultimately found factually innocent, and the Andrew Luster or so-called Max Factor heir habeas corpus proceeding, wherein his sentence was reduced by 74 years, the first-ever trial of medical marijuana defendants in San Luis Obispo County. Simply Exploring the Truth A life-long Deadhead and punk music fan, Leiderman successfully defended a slew of clients arrested under anti-drug laws. He once took on clients who had their kids taken away after police found marijuana hidden in their home. And he won. He took a shine to medical marijuana patients and was a fierce advocate for over a decade, writing a book on the topic in 2011 for the National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws. In 2013, he joined other activist lawyers in founding the Whistleblower Defense League. At its launch, he accused the Justice Department and the FBI of targeting journalists and political dissidents using tools of oppression, harassment, and fear. “People are being subpoenaed, indicted, and incarcerated,” he said, “simply for exploring the truth.” Lawyers for the Win In an essay on his website, Leiderman defended lawyers who get a bad rap for taking on unpopular clients, including those charged with unspeakable crimes. The guiltier the client, he believed, the greater the need for skilled representation. “I can only state that what follows is my own brand of patriotism,” he said. “I defend those charged with crimes because it is both my duty as a lawyer, and as an American.” #hacker #anonymous #hacking
