We urge readers to consider sending a few dollars, even if it's just a token amount. Cases such as Craig's and Len Rose's affect us all, and even a couple of dollars would help. Those interested in contributing the Craig Neidorf's defense fund to help reduce his legal costs should do so soon. Checks should be made out to the law firm of KATTEN, MUCHIN AND ZAVIS, and sent directly to his defense attorney: Sheldon Zenner c/o Katten, Muchin and Zavis 525 W. Monroe, Suite 1600 Chicago, IL 60606 Len Rose has been hit especially hard by legal expenses, and lost virtually everything he has, including his house and a car to pay his first attorney. Len is now relying on a public defender, but hopes to retain one more specialized in computer cases. There has been talk of a defense fund for him also, and we'll provide more details if it comes about. It's easy to sit back and remain apathetic if we don't perceive the issues to affect us directly, but in both cases the issues of telecommunication law affect all modem users. In Len's case, the definition of "telepiracy" could be expanded in such a way that people sending copies of any copyright program could be subject to prosecution. Those who were on the PHRACK mailing list, or who downloaded it regularly should be especially concerned. ******************************************************************** >> END OF THIS FILE << *************************************************************************** Downloaded From P-80 International Information Systems 304-744-2253 12yrs+
