@moonman Wow, that's a pretty funny thread on https://www.reddit.com/r/rpg/comments/6hc7lt/a_journalist_managed_to_foia_the_fbi_file_for/ .
Haven't read http://www.sjgames.com/SS/ before, that's some crazy shit.
> In the course of that visit, it became clear that the investigating agents considered GURPS Cyberpunk to be "a handbook for computer crime." They seemed to make no distinction between a discussion of futuristic credit fraud, using equipment that doesn't exist, and modern real-life credit card abuse. A repeated comment by the agents was "This is real."

> The one bright spot in this whole affair was the creation of the Electronic Frontier Foundation. [ . . . ] The EFF provided the financial backing that made it possible for SJ Games and four Illuminati users to file suit against the Secret Service.
I did not know this!

> In October 1994, the Fifth Circuit turned down SJ Games' appeal of the last (interception) count . . . meaning that right now, in the Fifth Circuit, it is not "interception" of your e-mail messages when law enforcement officials walk out the door with the computer holding them.

> Generally, a search warrant, rather than a court order, is required to obtain access to the contents of a stored electronic communication. See 18 U.S.C. s 2703(a). But, compliance with the more stringent requirements of s 2518, including obtaining a court order, is necessary to obtain access to a stored wire communication, because s 2703 expressly applies only to stored electronic communications, not to stored wire communications.

> We could stop here, because "[i]ndisputably, the goal of statutory construction is to ascertain legislative intent through the plain language of a statute--without looking to legislative history or other extraneous sources". But, when interpreting a statute as complex as the Wiretap Act, which is famous (if not infamous) for its lack of clarity, [ . . . ] we consider it appropriate to note the legislative history for confirmation of our understanding of Congress' intent.

@moonman @boco OMG I was even thinking the word "cerealization" from the Cap'n'Proto page as I was writing.

@moonman @boco Well, after reading the whole WP page, I realize I'm going to have to watch Pirates of Silicon Valley again.
