Isn't that unauthorized access to a computer system? Why isn't the "hacker" being prosecuted too? If prosecutors don't prosecute vigilantes who commit illegal acts to help police do an end run around civil rights, what's the difference between that, and the police collecting evidence illegally to begin with? Randall Schwartz goes down on three felony counts for accessing a workplace computer, and we have script kiddies being hailed at heros for breaking into judges' computers, and copying their hard drives. That sort of screams double standard, doesn't it? -- Eric Michael Cordian 0+ O:.T:.O:. Mathematical Munitions Division "Do What Thou Wilt Shall Be The Whole Of The Law"
