- Timing of CuD Issues
- +++++++++++++++
-
- In the last CuD, we indicated that there would be a longer time lag between
- issues. Now, a few days later, comes the next issue. We suddenly seem to
- have a good bit of material ranging from special issues on
- FOIA/Constitutional stuff to a few longer articles that will take the bulk
- of an issue. Thanks to all the contributors, AND KEEP THE STUFF COMING. We
- especially want blurbs from news papers (or summaries for longer stories
- that assure no copyright protections are violated).
-
- A number of recent mailings have bounced--nobody seems to know why. All
- uucp addresses in the CuD 3.07 mailing, but this seems to have been fixed
- for most addresses. Vacation seems to have resulted in other stuff being
- returned. Best way to receive CuD is off the nets (alt.society.cu-digest)
- or ftp (see header).
-
- +++++++++++++++
- CuD FTP Additions
- +++++++++++++++
-
- The CuD ftp sites currently include a variety of University computer
- policies, additional papers, and a variety of state and federal (and a few
- foreign) computer abuse statutes.
-
- law/<state> Current computer crime laws are online for:
- AL, AK, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DE, FL, GA, HI, IA, ID, IL,
- IN, MD, MN, NJ, NY, TX, VT, VA, and WV.
-
- (Everyone [law students especially] is encouraged to send
- along other statutes...we want to build this area up to
- [hopefully] a full set.)
-
- We still needed: AR, DC, KS, KY, ME, MI, MO, MS, MT, NC, ND,
- NH, NM, NV, OK, RI, SC, SD, TN, UT, WI, WY

- 2600 and Full Disclosure Magazines
- +++++++++++++++++
-
- 2600 and Full Disclosure are out. Characteristical, 2600 has its usual
- collection of interesting articles, including a nice story on Republican
- Party hacking into Democratic Party computers, "The Hacker Reading List,"
- and one of the last articles to come out of the Legion of Doom, "Central
- Office Operations" (by Agent Steal). As a number of people have observed
- following increased exposure of the rip-off of COCOTS (Coin Operated,
- Customer-Owned Telephones), 2600 was instrumental in documenting various
- abuses in the past. It's a mag well worth the modest investment. Contact:
- 2600@well.sf.ca.us or write 2600 Magazine; PO Box 752; Middle Island, NY
- 11953 (USA).
-
- We also received the latest issue of Full Disclosure (#22). Articles
- include a summary of the Ripco Seizure, the "Atlanta Three" Sentencing
- Memorandum, and numerous articles on government surveillance. It's a great
- issue, and a steal for only $18 for 12 issues. Contact: Full DIsclosure,
- Box 903-FD22, Libertyville, IL 60048. The Mag's Glen Roberts (publisher)
- and Bill Vajk (professional gadfly), remember, are the ones who dug up the
- Ripco seizure warrant when nobody else could.
