Ex-judge Gets 27 Months on Evidence From Hacked PC
netbsd_fan writes "A former California judge has been sentenced to 27 months in prison for possession of illegal pornography, based entirely on evidence gathered by an anonymous vigilante script kiddie in Canada. At any given time he was monitoring over 3,000 innocent people. The anonymous hacker says, "I would stay up late at night to see what I could drag out of their computers, which turned out to be more than I expected. I could read all of their e-mails without them knowing. As far as they were concerned, they didn't know their e-mails had even been opened. I could see who they were chatting with and read what they were saying as they typed."
Oh sure, blame Canada.
MABASPLOOM!

And he stayed up all night .. night after night ... I wonder what kept him awake ?

Good point. What's the difference between possession with intent to expose someone and possession with intent to masturbate? It's still possession, right?
:D
Could I have worded that any worse?
Huh? What are you talking about? This is CHILD PORN! The normal rules don't apply! The hacker is a hero! Burn the evil judge! Think of the children! Don't you know a little boy screamed in agonising pain EACH AND EVERY TIME one of those digital images was copied and transferred? Evil evil child porn pederast evil evil EVIL EVIL!!!!!
OK, Back on planet earth, I agree with you 100%. This is a travesty of justice, not a vindication.
For exposing the illogical, I sentence you to 50k seperate pieces of child pr0n. Now, stop telling people about what we do, and I might even remove you from my botnet. Maybe.
Or, I can plant these and turn you in... YOUR CHOICE.
He's....Tweek! I can just see the nervous twitch now, "oh god! Naked people!"

The hacker in question was referred to as a 'script kiddy' solely for the fact that upon hearing of his success in implicating the former judge, he immediately blogged his victory on myspace under the appropriate title of 'PWN3D!'. Ergo, this title is moreso an indicator of maturity than his technical skill level, and furthermore, an indicator that he lives in his parents basement.
If I mod you up, it doesn't necessarily mean I agree with what you've said, sorry.

As funny as it is on the surface level of sour candies, parents' basement, and girl angst, here is someone who found a calling, devoted his life to it and lived it out by bringing down a sexual predator, and that is empowering and that is fucking beautiful.
Sir, if you read Slashdot, as I suspect you may, a thousand congratulations. You've given me something to feel truly decent about as a human being.
Perhaps life really is full of possibilities.
Don't get me wrong, I find inappropriate jokes hilarious - I thought the original "WHERE" joke pretty funny. But I have to disagree with the idea that it is even possible to take some things, such as child prostitution, too seriously. I'm not saying everyone MUST take it completely seriously, but the ones that do aren't somehow making too much of it. I mean, it not like it's something trivial, like wife-beating :-)

It's not mentioned, but likely; was the judge running Windows?

"I plead not guilty, your honor. I had no intent to masturbate."
Use the gun defence: "I was just cleaning it and it went off!"
and possession with intent to masturbate
I knew that possession was 90% of the law; I believe I have found what the other 10% of the law is.

My neighbor beats his wife, bathes once a week, and hosts cockfights, all of which I don't like. How, exactly, is that MY shortcoming?
