No... actually this was a copy-cat... he took the existing code and modified it and released it. Sad really.

"intentionally causing or attempting to cause damage to a computer"

is that an actual crime

if it is,its the stupidiest thing i've ever heard of that means i can go to jail for throwing my monitor out the window

[Greenspock]

I think that the thing is that it was someone elses computer.

Kid was nabbed about an hour from where I live in the suburbs of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Pretty interesting story in the local paper about it. Neighbors said the Feds forced his family into their garage while going through all their stuff in order to confiscate suspected computers and media. Still doesn't surprise me though, there's so little to do up here in the winter
