Default The Law Always Prevails - 12-26-2002, 03:07 AM

"(...) that the subject matter therein was not protected from direct and accidental access by the public by any means. Therefore, the disclaimer, which the defense claims exempts them from responsibility, is deemed ineffective, null, and void by this court. Furthermore, it is the decision of this court that Mr. Loen is to be found guilty of negligence which resulted in the proliferation and use of illegal processes and procedures."

Gerald Loen (owner of a site which provided information on precisely how to conduct a DoS attack) was later sentenced to 8 months in prison (maximum was 5 years, he bargained by selling out a small ring of malicious hackers) and 3 years of prohibation. A civil case was filed but settled out of court on unreleased terms. Oh, and my favorite part. Since his release, no internet connection has entered or left his house without the FCC monitoring it.

Guess what all you cheats, we've been doing our homework, reading up in the law books. We've spoken with a judge who will not be involved in the case, and she agrees that server crashes are Denial of Service attacks. As soon as we've finished collecting the logs and compiled records to be verified with the FCC for truthfulness, my colleagues and I will be raising both criminal and civil charges against the four major cheat sites. These charges will include, but not be limited to, Denial of Service attacks (spawning to crash servers) and criminal negligence.

We have the lawyers. We have the legal precedence. We have the courts.

Let's tumble, assholes.
