This is from the Security Focus newsletter, and it brings up an interesting interpretation of 'seizure' In the comments, it raises the question of how this interpretation by the courts can be applied to the current P2P issues. By the way, I love the Politech newlist. Keep up the great work 4. When Feds are the Crackers By Mark Rasch In medieval times, attackers would use a bell-shaped metal grenade or "petard" to break enemy defenses. These unreliable devices frequently went off unexpectedly, destroying not only the enemy, but the attacker. As Shakespeare noted, "'tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his owne petar." http://online.securityfocus.com/columnists/105 Gordon Brandt Network Engineer AP Wagner Inc. 2205 George Urban Blvd. Depew, NY 14043 ------------------------------------------------------------------------- POLITECH -- Declan McCullagh's politics and technology mailing list You may redistribute this message freely if you include this notice.
