 *he'd probably be on shaky ground if he wrote a book *specifically* about
the hacks that got him landed in jail.*

Now that the statute of limitations has lifted on many of his crimes -- as
well as a seven-year court ban prohibiting him from writing about them (the
ban ended midnight on January 28, 2007) -- former hacker Kevin Mitnick is
telling his story in a book to be published next year.

FYI.  I don't subscribe to the belief that criminals cannot talk about their
crimes.  That is ridiculous.  They become popular because people have
interest.  If there were no interest then this wouldn't be an issue.

I also don't think we should prevent people from arranging words as they sit
fit on printed items.  Isn't there some sort of amendment over here that
protects this kind of thing? (For those in Ermerika.)
