I don't intend to know the US law.
But a few months ago someone's computer was taken by the police because some girl complained that he harassed and threatened her on-line. The police went through his computer, got all his logs and history and took him to court.

Hmmm, it could be. He doesn't have a girlfriend and he is often on MURC. Plus he's Canadian, although I don't know what being Canadian has to do with any of this!
If you click on any of the guy's stuff from Rich's link now, looks like it's gone dead. Maybe the jerk has been lurking and thinks he can patch his tracks...
TOO LATE SLIME!!

How can you possibly take anything seriously?
Who cares?
Seriously I couldn't ever do a dumb thing like that. In fact something similar to this happened to me when i was a newbie with computers and didn't know much about them. I was one of those inspiring novelists (still am ) and some dude that called himself The Matrix took all of my doc files and said he was going to copy my work and sell it. I was only 17 and scared out of my mind when i saw it (I mean this was the first year I had used the internet and that our school had it, and my first year that I owned my own little ol' laptop that I still have today). I never figured out who did it, but I gotta say I was angry.
If you know who it is Liz, bust his ass cause you should have enough info to get him. But if you don't know who it is (which was what I thought) then there usually isn't much that can be done. I just had to count my losses and go on.
Anyway, I haven't seen anything I wrote in someone else's name yet, so it must have just been a cruel prank. Let's hope that's all it was.
Our Father, who 0wnz heaven, j00 r0ck!

Give us this day our warez, mp3z, and pr0n through a phat pipe.
And cut us some slack when we act like n00b lamerz,
just as we teach n00bz when they act lame on us.
For j00 0wn r00t on all our b0x3s 4ever and ever, 4m3n.
would it help if i hide most of my folders? or can hackers see them if they are hidden?
I belive the best thing you could've done (probably could still do, not sure if it's safe if the system's compromised now) was to archive and password your "sensitive" material. Choose some long (10+) combination of letters and numbers for the password and be done with it.
I mean, look at poor Zokes still trying to crack that zip file from some game CD
just because he lists himself as being in Tennessee or Mississippi or even from Indiana, doesn't mean he is doing it from there.
Lizzie, your PM box is full... hehe...

Unfortunetely (or fortunetely in your case) he's right and if you use different caracters it makes it even harder to crack. A password using all 256 caracters at 10 digits+ can take over 1 year to crack using a Athlon 1.333GHz.
I gave up on that project btw.
Titanium is the new bling!
(you heard from me first!)
That doesn't necessarily mean he posted in that thread. You don't have to have a user name to browse MURC.
Perhaps what I should have said was he might know her but she not know him.
Well if you saw what she posted at that time it could have made him think that there was more on her system. Those who saw it know what I'm talking about.
Edit: I'm not saying it was one of us (the regulars). What was posted was a link that anybody could have clicked on. And the more I think about it, there could have been someone that gave him that link, someone from MURC who saw it at that time. Then again, I could be way off. I dunno.
