what's your opinion on #789?

I agree with you. I'm on some professional forums where they actually check you out personally before you can participate. That may not be too pratical. I'm not that computer savvy butI think you'd have to lock out IP's of violators in the future. Here is what we have to work with in Washington State regarding computer trespass:

RCW 9A.52.110
Computer trespass in the first degree.
(1) A person is guilty of computer trespass in the first degree if the person, without authorization, intentionally gains access to a computer system or electronic data base of another; and

(a) The access is made with the intent to commit another crime or

(b) The violation involves a computer or data base maintained by a government agency.

(2) Computer trespass in the first degree is a class C felony.

RCW 9A.52.120
Computer trespass in the second degree.
(1) A person is guilty of computer trespass in the second degree if the person, without authorization, intentionally gains access to a computer system or electronic data base of another under circumstances not constituting the offense in the first degree.

(2) Computer trespass in the second degree is a gross misdemeanor.

Well articulated, as usual, KP. A wide variety of remedies can be pursued once the bastard is found. Like I said on an earlier post, the one who ID's him will go into the FR Hall of Fame.
