They say he used the university's bandwidth, which has a cost attached to it,
illegally and for his own and non university
purposes.
so they charging him for the bandwidth he 'stole' essentially from what i read about
the case before.
Its all a pack of sh** by people that clearly don't have a clue.
But sadly they might have legal grounds to do what they're doing if they frame it as
theft and misuse.
Plus, it could be an attempt to truly set a precedent here and thus open the
floodgates to start charging for stuff on per
use basis etc.
But see above..its really because some administrative jackass didn't have a clue.And
the law being an ass the poor guy might
really get sent to jail.

I don't get it...
He is being prosecuted for installing the distributed.net client on
computers at schools in the State of Georgia? How is that a felony? It
doesn't actually say that is the reason he is being prosecuted on the web
site, just that he is.
