    but he denies the stories that he hacked into NORAD -- North American Aerospace Defense Command -- or that he wiretapped the FBI.


    He was overheard muttering "I hacked the FBI and wiretapped NORAD."

    "Copyright infringement is not theft!"

    Okay, now do the one about "theft of service," "stolen kisses," and "stealing your thunder." And can you do the one about Apple's "don't steal music" sticker? I just love that one!

    CNN: Martha Stewart has glorified life in prison. What were the best and worst things about being behind bars?

    MITNICK: Anal Rape, that was kind of a drag. And also the food sucks. On the plus side, the prison quality crank makes the pain and humiliation seem worthwhile.

    I read that book when I was in 6th grade and I was totally blow away. I got a modem and started war dialing and memorizing "at" commands just so I could try and be a badass like Kev +++ ATH

    hey, it's a straw man. all we need is the tin man and dorothy, then you can go visit the wizard.

    Is there a bot on this site that posts stupid mindless two line replys to peoples posts?

    It seems to be written something like this:

    $array = array(i rape your mother, they steal your children, communists eat your puppies) ;
    $bad_thing = array[rand(3)] ;
    echo "So by your logic it's ok if $bad_thing" ;

    Perhaps if you actually read my post it I quite clearly made out my position on ILLEGALY breaking into a computer and copying its files. Doing so will see in a very real concrete and steel barred prison.

    The crime you have committed isn't neccessarely theft in the traditional sense.

    Either your going for the 'quick & witty' mod, or you're stupid, perhaps both?

    Plus i dont have a social security number, so copying it would be a bit hard. But if i understand correctly it's not exactly hard to get anyway given the prevalence of its (mis)use in your country.

    "Here's a few fucking hints you ignorant twat:"

    What are you, some little punk? I wish I could see you face to face buddy boy.
    No doubt you'd be afraid of the big abusive facist..

    "1. Physical property loss and damage do not compare to a strict financial lost (security
        audits, re-securing systems, re-engineering security procedures). So you can take your
        analogy with the car and house and slide it up your rectum sideways."

    See my previous comment. You're a moron! So genius, property doesn't equal finance eh?
    Tell your realtor that the next time you try to buy some property boy. Maybe they'll
    help educate your little pea brain.

    "2.Punishment ought to fit the crime. What crime does the punishment of 3 years of
          near solitary confinement without formal charges fit into?

          Now, locking a person up for 3 years without charges or access to a lawyer, that's
          FACIST."

    You obviously haven't read anything not written in 2600 magazine. You know nothing of
    this case. Why do you pretend you do? Kevin David Mitnick made a deal bud. He admitted,
    and bragged about, most of his crimes in conversations with John Littman (The Fugitive
    Game). He did the crime and he did his time. The fact that he served his time in the
    way that best protected him from the general population at Lompoc is something only
    his guards could speak to. Maybe he needed the protection. Lot's of real friendly types
    in Lompoc. You'd probably love it.

    "Do you see me arguing that Mitnick did zero harm? Fuck no. Do you see me arguing that
      Mitnick is a worthy role-model? Fuck no. Kevin Mitnick is the poster child for the abuse
      of police power. That's why people like me come out of the woodwork to put down the ignorant.

      The man could have drowned puppies while robbing banks and I would still be here defending
      him if he was locked up for 3 years without formal charges or legal counsel. If a person
      has commited a crime, arrest them and give them their day in court. The rights of the
      accused are important to all citizens."

    People like you? Morons of the world unite! You have only your ignorance to lose! You're
    defending someone that admitted to committing dozens of criminal offenses who then paid
    $4000 in restitution and served a total of 5 years in Federal prison. If he didn't want
    to serve the time why did he commit the crime and why did he admit it? He had his day in
    court, he had a lawyer, and justice was served. What the hell do you want. "Well, he just
    caused financial loss so he should just have his hand slapped." Guess what, he had been
    busted for similar things twice before! Ever hear of three stikes and you're out? Maybe
    we should all just do whatever the hell we want to and let the chips fall where they may.
    I'm all for it buddy but I don't think geniuses like you would last long. You better pray
    the cops you accuse of so much abuse are around to keep your pansy ass out of trouble!
    Really man, get a life! Mitnick's not whining about it, why are you?
