Brickbat: Fishing Expedition

New Jersey
officials are demanding that four MIT students hand over the
source-code for a bitcoin-mining tool they developed as well as a
list of all websites that might have run it. The tool allows
visitors to a website to avoid
seeing ads
 if they allow their computer to be used to mine
bitcions. New Jersey officials say they aren’t accusing the four of
any wrongdoing but they are concerned that the tool has been used
on websites within the state.
