I'm sitting on a lot of data that could do a lot of damage to ATOC. Time to stop...

What kind of data?

The entire spec for the magstripe on their tickets, and a preliminary spec for the new 2D self-print and phone tickets that are being introduced.

Edit: I have yet to obtain a valid 2D ticket myself, but the promotional image released is at least similar to what the spec describes, and the pre-amble is a match.

Perhaps this would be a good publicity stunt to draw attention to the issue.

"Release our data, or we'll release yours"

I like this idea. But I also like not being in jail.

Please don't do anything illegal. It's not good for you (obviously!), and it eliminate any legitimate moral ground in the debate. We're trying to do what's right + good here, not to be underhand + malicious.

I'm pretty sure I obtained these documents legally, their webserver should have asked me for a password for the files but for some reason it did not (has since been fixed). They're under copyright though so I can't disseminate them.
