If you haven't read it already, please get your hands on the March issue of the Communications of the ACM. It features several articles on how the technology has outgrown our legal system in terms of hackers and crackers. Contributions from John Barlow, Dorothy Denning, Gene Spafford, and Richard Stallman are among the features of this issue. Denning's article includes an accounting of her experiences with the Neidorf fiasco. The articles demonstrate a lack of understanding not only on the part of law enforcement, but on the part of hackers, as well. The differences of opinion between the contributers reflect a split in the community on what should be done to safeguard not only the rights of those who rely on computers but also the rights of the hackers. -- Eliot Lear [lear@turbo.bio.net]
