My beef is with the DMCA...a fundamentally flawed law that's being used far beyond the scope of what it was intended even by the politicians who passed it after receiving monetary encouragement from the entertainment industry to do so. To the extent the DMCA is being used to go after file and registry key deletion, that's absurd. As for the rest, if proven, throw him to the lions.

It's about hacking the software installer to identify & delete the controls that are part of the program? Commercially offering the printed coupons on his site? Attempting to force a consulting fee (vs employment) from Coupons Inc? Using EDI databases likely not in the public domain to decode coupons? His wife bragging on the site about using coupons fraudulently at Walmart's USCANs? Google a bit & learn about this guy hacking flightsim programs & then faking his death when there were issues. Look at the coldfusion technical forum where members were indirectly led to believe he was www.dealideal.com when he offered $50 PayPal for help scripting a login to their user contribution (not EDI) based decoder after being banned from there & returning with different IP addresses. What is terrible is the Wired & the ABC & other news stories leading people to believe it's just about deleting files & reg keys, & then fearing that? Did the defendant first have an opportunity to cease & decist? I don’t think it’s limited to deleting files or reg keys.
