All they need to say is these were to be used more directly in the marketing closer to the movie. I don't care who owned these things its still not legal. Why are you trying to justify this anyway? Here's a reality check for you: Its illegal "I get that", well then act like it. Go ahead and show me your paycheck from Paramount's marketing department or the certificate they gave you when you passed the bar to practice law and then I'll respect your lack of common sense. Until then all I'm seeing is "we hax0red your accountz FTW 1337!111111"[/i]


Simple question to Finch, pegasissy, and all the others who act like this was a violation of national security:

Where were you when jamielovesteddy.com got hacked?

"Oh, but that's different. We were *supposed* to hack that site." ...Yeah? Please show me ANYWHERE on the Myspace pages, Tagruato, Slusho.jp or anywhere else a clear quote "inviting" ARG players to hack into JLT.

Doc Awk was simply following the program. If "they" wanted us to hack JLT in order to find pertinent clues, then it's a logical, natural progression to *assume* that other sites were "hackable," too.

Please...get off your high horses, folks. Doc Awk is NOT a haxx0r, nor is ANYONE on these boards actively advocating REAL hacking. They were simply exploring the boundaries of a game. Period.

Really are you fn serious? Really, would there ever be an arg ever if you didnt have to find or figure out a password to unlock something. Im not saying that he was a hacker, but he did break TOS of myspace, and what makes it even worse is that he added his "mark" Am i saying he should be punished... no. Hey brett, im gonna find your myspace, and try hundreds of thousands of passwords on your myspace.

Am i saying that Paramount is completely "innocent"? Not by a long shot. They suposedly read this forum, and they should have known we would have eventually guess paramount. someone got lazy, no one should be in trouble.

There is a line and he crossed it. What are you gonna do? Doesnt matter. I just dont like morons saying its ok. Myspace is a little different then jamieandteddy. You need to wake up. You are usually a good poster, but wake up. He could be charged.

As for me, I was trying to crack Jamieandteddy. They gave us that site, and keep adding vids. They didnt tear it down and give up.

you are over it.

 		At the risk of spamming this thread even more, what in god's name can arguing over what was done contribute to this ARG. This is not a thread to discuss hacking. If you want, go to hacking meta thread.

What's done was done. Paramount has most likely started to or has taken care of the situation. It's useless to argue more. So far there is no indication we are in trouble (or at least, big trouble). They will be more careful in the future, and we will too most likely. Chances are after this, another hacking will not be likely.

Move on.

 		As far as I can see, this thread is about Jamie's photobucket and the discussion is about what happens at that site. That discussion includes what happened with the site being hacked. I suggest that when the site updates again that we start a new thread to discuss it.

I do agree that continuing to repeat a position after it has been said a few times and posted in different threads, as I have done, is pointless.

So, I'll not add anything more about it now.

Logical? You've got to be off your damn rocker to think that trying to break into sites like MySpace and PhotoBucket would be part of a game.

JLT was a site created for the specific purpose of this game; created by the PMs (A first-party site). MySpace and PhotoBucket are thrid-party sites, not connected in anyway to Paramount, BadRobot, or whomever else is running this, and only serve to drop hints (may be even hints to passwords at first-party sites). While it may be assumed that we'd need to figure out a password to gain knowledge from a first-party site, there is no logic pointing to breaking into third-party sites that are, in many ways, out of the PMs control (those servers are not owned by the PMs or anyone believed to be involved in this).

It pretty freaking odd that someone like me, who has only been on this board for a few months and still very new to ARGs, can see the big, bold line between an IG site them may be okay to break into and an OOG site that shouldn't be tampered with and is highly freaking unlikely to hold any clues.

 		5 Mysterious pics - S I X ...
Teddy Hanssen's mystreious whereabouts and character development...

Move on.


That much being said, please consider the following…

If we were purposed by the PM's to hack J&T.com in order to find pertinent clues, it did and does appear as the potential viability is present to "hack",
and I use that term loosely, into other IG characters personal things.

As Brett mentioned in previous threads, if your open to the idea of "hidden" clues and you watch J&T vid 2,
the potential for Jaimie to mouth a hidden word while cornbread is heard (dubbed) seems plausible at the least.

After reading Brett's original post concerning the "Japanese dubbed cornbread incident", it was easy to entertain that possibility and,
with an open mind, perceive the potential for the words aura, whore, mount, and quite a few others.
Admittedly, while grasping for clues, seeing mount lead to the obvious…

If the obvious lead to a progression of sorts, it seemed as likely a possibility the move was IG.

This is why it was announced - much like 1-18-08.com, slusho.jp, J&T.com, the related "hacked" pass, the review from menuism.com, and tagruato.jp.,
immediately after being discovered.
It seemed as if an IG progression had been accomplished.

The idea of Jaimie finding out about her extremely personal website that everyone "can clearly see" is in game being "hacked"
seemed like a potential step in the script combined w/ her infamous "leave my $h!t alone" pic that was witnessed by many ARG's.

The fact that the bucket was recovered and mysterious pics, at one point spelling out SIX (another apparent clue), seemed further confirmation.
We have seen what ARG's do when gaining access first hand…the events following the bucket recovery were much more calculated indeed.

Mind you we still do not know for certain that an IG progression has not been made.
There is no evidence to support this postulation any more than the former at this point

All we know is that she has yet to discover approximately 50,000 people have "hacked" into, likely, most important and personal site in her IG characters life.
She already hinted, or more or less stated, that if she does find out the whole internet see's her personal/private/intimate ramblings to Hanssen, she will be irate.

Although we viewed much less in the bucket than the vids - there seems to be evidence that IG clues were discovered and progression is being made…
Until the new pic's prove B.S. , it seems as strong a possibility as anything else so far.
Why upload new pic's into the bucket and make it public otherwise unless this is some sort of advancement in the game…
if it's opposite it would seem recovering the bucket and maintaining a private setting would prove to be the more logical next step.

This isn't what has transpired.

This just further skews the "lines that have been drawn" in this interactive viral marketing campaign experience
which is evidenced by ARG's confusion as to WTF is truly defined as IG.

How are we not supposed to assume the secret dubbed word would not lead to a password, that leads to a pic in another,
potentially, "private" IG site that possesses some information as to Hanssen's mysterious whereabouts or character development…

How do we know the new pics that are hosted in the now ARG accessible bucket album don't in fact contain clues
pointing in the direction of Hanssen's mysterious whereabouts and character development…

This was indeed my motivation and the answer to the question is...

We don't…and very few seem to be truly seeking this possibility, even though it is as plausible as any.

Actually, the more I think about the new pic's the more it seems we've progressed.
If a sixth pic is added soon, I'll be all but convinced.

Does anybody have any speculation to the pertinence of the four new pics in Lascano's public bucket if they are, in fact, IG??

Just to clarify here - the photobucket page is an in-promotion site. Photobucket itself isn't, but the page definitely is part of the promotion, created by a character.
