Minor historicla trivia: I was the fellow who published the court's decision to the global Internet. (Many years later, I found myself sitting at a dinner table with Steve Jackson and we reminisced.) Highly recommended reading: Bruce Sterling's -The Hacker Crackdown_, full text of which book the author makes available for free electronically.
