The Mafia & Napster

by Steve Gibson Apr 21, 2000 3:00pm CST tags: LucasArts, Wack News
Got a couple of follow-ups for you guys today. Firstly you probably remember the FBI nabbed some canadian kid for doing those DOS attacks on CNN, eBay etc. Well now they are trying to figure out how to punish him. Some experts are saying 'take it easy' on him since he's just a kid. Also, Our favorite rapsta Dr. Dre just a day after filing a lawsuit against napster experiences some bad karma, he gets a lawsuit slapped on him from LucasArts. Here is a bit on the Canadian kid:

"He's 15 years old. One would hope he'd learn his lesson." Ozancin, who secures clients' computer networks, believes kids like Mafiaboy should -- to some extent -- get a break.

Oh yeah, get this. While they were investigating the Mafiaboy his father gets nabbed for setting things up with a hitman to snub a rival business.
