Anyone know who used his software?

Don't offend or insult the religion of peace.

Ever.

Seriously.

Sounds like using software on your sites signed by someone with a vaguely Persian-sounding name might be a bad idea too.

where you getting the software thing from? it says:

Supporting himself as a computer programmer in Canada, Malekpour was charged with “Internet offences,” that included “designing and moderating adult content websites”

ok maybe - what image uploading script did he make?

"While working as developer in Canada, Saeed designed a program that would allow his clients to upload pictures, and as is a common courtesy in programming, included his name and info in the file. This program, Saeed’s wife – Dr. Fatimeh Eftekhari – explains, was used in an adult content website WITHOUT Saeed’s knowledge or approval. “The only recognizable name in the program was Saeed’s,” she continued, “which led to his arrest” and to the accusations claiming that Saeed was responsible for the development and administration of the website." from http://united4iran.org/2010/10/the-c...ed-since-2008/

I haven't been able to find it yet, was hoping someone here would have some info.

Damn, Canada is really getting tough on porn. They're executing people now??

Damn socialists.

damn shame

TIP OF THE DAY: Iran bad>KEEP THE FUCK OUT:2 cents:

And how did the religious authorities find out about him? Were they surfing porn for "research purposes"?

Yes. Yes they were. I know this because I am an Iranian governmental official with the relevant role and responsibilities.

Fuck'em. Let them come after me.

Sorry, Charlie, I am offended by any religion which attempts to stifle, limit or restrict my personal, civil or legal rights. They want to come after me, they better have better guns than I have or be a lot better at certain things than I am and I am awfully good at some of those things.

You do realize what you said describes pretty much every major religion.

So just in case any of you actually think it's, you know, kind of shit that this guy has had the crap beaten out of him since 2008 and is facing the death penalty because some adult webmaster used his image upload script and would like to do something (probably ineffectual) about it, here are a few links:

Sure do.

That's why I wrote:
