There are serious risks in doing so. Having such a post linked to your meatspace identity could result in persecution - and most likely eventually prosecution as well. Bear
The name of the prosecuting attorney is on the plea bargain sent to Brian, copy below. I agree that this kind of once-okay data-mining and publishing will now get you Bell-jarred, CJ-jugged. --- Full listing of Brian West case files: http://www.bkw.org/pdf/ From: http://www.bkw.org/pdf/usdoj-letter.txt BKW: (NOTICE: Any spelling errors would be mine.. I think I have it exactly as it was sent to me. I will have it in PDF format when I nerves are better!) U.S. Department of Justice United States Attorney Eastern District of Oklahoma 1200 West Okmulgee Muskogee, Oklahoma 74401 (918) 684-5100 Main Fax (918) 684-5130 Criminal Fax (918) 684-5150 August 14, 2001 Brian West 714 E. Osage McAlester, OK 74501 Fax: 918-967-2859 VIA FAX Dear Mr. West: This letter is sent pursuant to our conversation of yesterday. You indicated to me that you are currently unrepresented in this matter. If that is untrue, or if you eventually obtain representation, please have your attorney contact me as soon as possible. You are incited to appear before the Grand jury on about September 5, 2001 to answer questions regarding your involvment in alleged illegal activity. Whether or not you decided to appear before the grand jury is completely up to you. Please let me know as soon as possible, but by no later than August 24, 2001, in writing, whether or not you desire to appear before the grand jury, and the invitation will be withdrawn. Futhermore, it is prudent that all of our communications occur in writing, so please note I will henceforth decline to speak with you on the telephone. Pursuant to Department of Justice Policy, the folling advice of rights is provided for your information: ADVICE OF RIGHTS 1. The grand jury for the Easter District of Oklahoma is conducting an investigation of possible violations of Federal Criminal Law innvolving a violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030, and other violations. You are the target of this investigation. 2. You may refuse to answer any questions if a truthful answer to the question would tend to incriminate you. 3. Anything that you do or say may be used against you by the Grand Jury or in subsequent legal proceeding. 4. If you have retained counsel, the Grand Jury will premit you a reasonable opportunity to step outside the Grand Jury room to consult with counsel if you so desire. Whether to retain an attorney is entirely your decission; however, I must emphasize that this is a serious matter. The advice of an attorney may be of great assistance. If you do retain an attorney, please advise me of that fact soon as possible. Also the government would be willing to resolve this matter at this juncture if you agreed to plead guilty to one violation of Title 18, United States Code, Section 1030. As part of the agreement the government would stipulate that your sentence should be probation. Please let me know, in writing, as soon as possible, whether or not you wish to resolve this matter pursuant to plea agreement. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call FBI Special Agent Gary Graff. I believe a prompt resolution of this matter is in everyone's best interest. Sincerly yours, SHELDON J. SPERLING United States Attorney (Signed Jeff Gallant) ---------------------------- JEFF GALLANT Assistant United States Attorney -----

...and TU Law '79. Now here a conundrum for Mr. Sperling, Esquire: If your classmate's web homepage <www.tilly.com> doesn't directly link to the page with your home address, home phone, wife's name, etc. then does the fact that Google's spiders and bots finked you out (probably because your dearly beloved classmates linked to the page from their own vanity home pages) constitute intentional unauthorized access to a protected computer system under 18 USC 1030a2C?

Not if you read NAACP v. Claiborne Hardware or Judge Kozinski's 9th Circuit decision in Planned Parenthood of Columbia/Williamette v. American Coalition of Life Activists. Publishing addresses is legal. James did a little more and did not put on a strong defense and we don't know if he's doing a strong appeal. DCF

Perhaps someone can write to him at SHELDON.SPERLING@usdoj.gov and ask. Looks like someone is watching the list because Mr. Sperling's details have been turned off on the Alumni page. A bit too late. They will endure as long as mankind endures in an archive somewhere. DCF ---- Why is a tight skirt like a covenant running with the land?

Sperling is the office boss, not the case prosecutor, who is AUSA Gallant. A report claims that a person with the last name Gallant is the sysadmin at Brian's competitor - who operated the Okie Rag's Web site Good Cyber-Citizen Brian reported to be holey and got cyber-criminalized forthwith. Whether the dipsec Gallant who got exposed by Brian had set a cyber-trap in order for Sperling/Gallant's office to grab some cyber-crime funding is just too fucking fantastic to believe, what with the cyber-soldier training camp being set up right in the neighborhood and bigtime newspaper notices splashing the chamber of commerce Ft. Sill-grade cyber-crime-fighting pork story. Okies like greased-pig justice.com prisons, too, especially that OKC federal transfer station we read about here so avidly when those rumors are not being shunted aside by Aimee's hot-eyed scheme to blow up something as if she's determined to prove AP is not a joke on Jeff. Come to think of it Aimee's reminds of Jeff, and the timing is pretty good for another raid. Hark, wipe your disks.

Save that Jeff is fresh out of soft targets, unless Choate qualifies. DCF ---- How to prove that 95% of the people are either anarchists or stupid. Ask the following question on a public opinion survey: "Some groups advocate violence as a means of achieving social change. Do you agree with these groups? Do you advocate violence as a means of achieving social change?"
