OK, the alleged crime is "Obtaining computer services by Fraud or

I'm not saying I personally agree with the law or the actions taken

the Boston College Police Dept.

I am saying the that the EFF is using a lot of smoke mirrors to try  
and
play on the emotions of F/OSS and privacy proponents that some huge
egregious miscarriage of justice is taking place.  I call bullshit.


I call bullshit on any premise built upon "..he seems guilty because  
he is
a computer expert and he used some unknown computer foo..."

Witch hunting.

This whole thing stinks.

That should be scary, in and of itself.


Did you read the basis for probable cause?  Because it says a little  
bit more than that in there.
