MSNBC Technology reports, on the other side of
the Atlantic, a place where stealing Internet
access is sometimes a necessity and computer
hardware is often archaic, hacking is hardly a
game, and points to Boris Floricic, a legendary 27-year-old German hacker who was
found dead in a Berlin park in November of 1998. Police ruled it a suicide, but
family, friends and the CCC say foul play was involved.

Senator Hatch’s Napster epiphany
Author: JT Smith
The Register proclaims, Hatch’s Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a veritable masterpiece of internal inconsistencies,
contradictions, and fraudulent assurances purporting to protect the ‘fair use’ of

who have since delighted in splitting the hairs and treading the thin edges as
they assail the very ‘fair use’ which the Act so touchingly, and impotently,
bleats about.
