I guess if he were as good at taking care of his stuff as he was at telling stories, he’d not be in this position.

Encryption, locks, and (most importantly) eyeballs.

Aw, darn: Redfaced professor made up scary story... University spokesman says the Professor "exaggerated" his claims-- and more poignantly, the laptop has not been recovered.

Um, gee thanks Mike. What a pal… You know, I think I’m going to hand over all the deCSS I (don’t) got, while I’m at it. I mean, he didn’t _explicitly_ mention RIAA as an interested party, but seeing as they seem to specialize in fear-of-god-and-lawsuit inducing intimidation, it’s probably a safe bet they’re involved too.

And once he gets that thing back, maybe they’ll do a sweep for bootleg mp3s… (wouldn’t that be irony, for them to convict the kid, then have the professor get slapped with a lawsuit for having illegal mp3s… it might be a toss-up as to which sentence is harsher…)

That’s a good point about the prof being in trouble, jeopardizing the companies’ information.

But regardless of how much of that is true, I’d crap my pants if I were the guilty one sitting in that class during that speech.

Yeah, I’m curious to know how much is complete BS on the professor’s part and how much is for real. I imagine it’s a little of both. I also want to know how much trouble the prof is in with the various companies/governmental bodies.

Actually, the FBI came over a while ago. I gave them your name. So yeah, you might want to think about fessing up.

Wow… Watching that is so fear-inspiring, it almost makes me want to turn over _my own laptop_ to the authorities to make sure I’m absolutely in the clear…
