  Today's Boston Globe has an article on a 20yo MIT student
David LaMacchia who 'enabled Internet users around the globe
to pirate more than a million dollars worth of copyrigthed software'.
David 'faces a possible jail term and fines of up to $250,000'.
David's scheme involved usage of anonymous remailers [?] in Finland.

   The article starts on the front page with a big color picture of David
in his computer room.

   Here's a repsonse to the case I found oncomp.org.eff.talk:
