The Trap Set By the FBI For Half Life 2 Hacker
eldavojohn writes "You might remember the tiny news that Half Life 2 source code was leaked in 2003 ... it is the 6th most visited Slashdot story with over one kilocomment. Well, did anything happen to the source of the leak, the German hacker Axel 'Ago' Gembe? Wired is reporting he was offered a job interview so that Valve could get him into the US and bag him for charges. It's not the first time the FBI tried this trick: 'The same Seattle FBI office had successfully used an identical gambit in 2001, when they created a fake startup company called Invita, and lured two known Russian hackers to the US for a job interview, where they were arrested.'"

Right - despite the influence of drugs, drugs didn't cause any harm. You're a fucking idiot.
Assuming you're correct since you don't cite a source, tackling organized piracy is a valid fight against what might be considered a form economic terrorism. I'm talking organized piracy rings, which is what they likely investigated.
As for who was in charge of their budget, if that was a dig at Republicans, may I remind you that 9/11 was first planned in 1998, and it was under Clinton that we got the DMCA in the first place?
