I don't care whether you damage ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ I would be interested in knowing the specific CRIMINAL laws that have been violated. Regardess of your personal value system, an action can only be CRIMINAL in nature if it contravenes a specific statute, defining it to be a CRIMINAL action. I totally agree that intentionally breaking into someone else's machine is a repulsive, and vile thing, that SHOULD be a CRIMINAL action if it isn't already. -- {ihnp4!alberta!ubc-vision,uunet}!van-bc!Stuart.Lynne Vancouver,BC,604-937-7532
