Quotation of the Day for January 7, 2015



"We are the legal owner of the drugs - we are responsible for everything the bot does, as we executed the code. But our lawyer and the Swiss constitution says art in the public interest is allowed to be free."

- Domagoj Smoljo, artist, on an automated shopping bot called the Random Darknet Shopper. The bot was programmed to make random on-line purchases, which resulted in it purchasing some illegal goods.
