Today's story in the NY Times (free account, yadda yadda) on Dirty Tricks on the web has a whole section on Meta Tag tricks and talks about Playboy suing a number of sites who have spammed thier meta tags with the word "playboy" to increase traffic from search engines.
The article makes some other interesting points, although it seems to be geared for the "non-techies."
I read The Hacker Crackdown when I was in 8th grade, and it sparked my interest in the internet and in programming. You presented the stories of the people in such a great way, that made me want to learn what was going on in the world of computers.
Do you have any plans for a new edition, detailing some of the newer cases that have cropped up since you wrote the book in 1992?
