In a non-war time, I'd tend to agree with you. However, this "hacking" toggles the Patriot and Homeland flags. You might be right -- that this is how the judge will rule; But after that the dude may be Federal "material".
You should thank me for *not* making a crack about "Pulp Friction"....;))
woops...never mind....
LOL!
Good point.

Upland, duh
Scumbag hacked a website. He took credit card numbers. What he did was illegal, no matter his policital beliefs. If protestwarrior did this to the RATS in the Underground, they would be going apoplectic. Of course, that is theoretical, since none of those losers have credit or credit cards about which to worry.
This is just like the burglar who is caught on the property of anothers home with burglary tools but says I did not break in yet.
Based on the PW notice, it seems like this "hacktivist" should be plea barganing not begging for money.
I suspect there is no "threat of prosecution" there is going to be a prosecution. Federal prosecutors just love easy cases.
IOW he admits he hacked in AND he admits he had illegally obtained credit card numbers without permission of authorized users.
I would be blowing this up very very very large poster sized and placing it in front of the jury.
Bump for later read.
Thanks, OXEN. I would have missed this one. I think Jeremy is a great example of dem values...anything, even crime, is okay. The ends justify the means.
LMBO!!
...the FBI is threatening to charge him with unauthorized access and credit card fraud totalling to millions of dollars in damages and up to thirty years in federal prison for a crime that hasn't even happened...
...yet.
Freaking moron.
True, but yet still has a baby look about him. He doesn't carry a look that gives an air of being able to defend himself. I dont think he will fare well.
actually since his computer was confiscated the ENTIRE computer information can be obtained via a FOIA request after the case or investigation closes.
Sooner if charges are filed since the content of the computer is part of the criminal discovery.
IF PW files a civil action for the added security expenses the computer content is also discoverable.
All of his private computer activity.
Wait until Tyrone gets ahold of his young sweet ass in prison.
Seems to me that both conspiracy and the RICO statutes also apply.
As long as all the "hip" people got the reference, I didn't think the mention was necessary :-)

"Hey Jeremy, can you say Jail-House-Boy-Toy?"
I know I shouldn't enjoy this but damn that is funny!
'll! THAT'S no elf! THAT is a USDA Grade AAA TROLL!
Photoshop contest:
Who can make the best pic of the Ubertroll under the influence of 1.21 gigawatts?
Trapping and punishing hackers has to be one of the most rewarding feelings in the world today. I hope a book is written about this incident.
