The only thing I've heard that's pretty black and white wrong is that he circumvented MIT's network security (who'd already tried to stop him) by plugging his laptop directly into a network closet and hiding his laptop in the closet. They found it and that's how they caught him. The content itself should have been open, but how he got it was a little less legitimate. Still though, the punishment doesn't clearly fit the crime. -Cameron ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:360225 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
