"Isn't the McKinnon case more like charging him to buy the lock that had been missing when he walked in?"

More like they want him to pay for a lock that wasn't there because he was the first one to tell them that the lock wasn't there.

Or even more obvious, somebody forgot to put in a front door and now the store wants him to pay for a new door because he was the first one to tell the store that they had no door.

The charges that were dropped referred to the attachment of modems to the network. The remaining charge is for refusing to turn over the password. The prosecutor has vowed to appeal, to have the charges reinstated. We have the original story, and the story where Childs tells his side, for those who want a refresher.

Comment Cite? (Score 2, Insightful) 349

I was always under the impression that you could, say cite the other work in your work and make comparison's and contrasts to the other work.

Example: If someone came up with a theory with supporting test results and ten universities duplicated those test results - proving the theory - then those ten universities could publish their results all the while citing the originating test results.
