- WIDENER FTP ADDRESS CHANGE
- ++++++++++++

- INFO ON "OTHER VICTIMS" WANTED
- +++++++++
-
- We are putting together a story on the "other victims" of the 1990
- searches/seizures by the Secret Service that focuses on the problems
- various raids caused for those who where touched by, but not directly
- involved in, those events. We're compiling a list of short, narrative
- stories that can each be summarized in a few paragraphs.
-
- If you or anybody you know was an indirect "victim," it would help if you
- would send us their name and an email or voice phone means of contacting
- them. If people have been victimized, but prefer anonymity, we can tell
- the story without the name:

- PHRACK 33
- +++++++++
-
- Phrack 33 (release date 1 Sept, '91) is out and can be obtained from
- the Cud archvives. FREE SPEECH BBS, Phrack's home board, will be up in
- a week or so, but may periodically be down for maintenance while
- testing some of the new features. The new number is (618) 549-4955.

- NY BBS TAX
- ++++++++++
-
- New York state has enacted a law that would appear to place a tax on
- BBSs that sell or exchange software. Although there is some confusion
- regarding the intent and applicability of the law, most agree that it
- is, at best, a poor worded and potentially harmful piece of
- legislation. The next Cu Digest (3.34) will be a special issue devoted
- to the law.

- INFO ON THESES/DISSERTATIONS WANTED
- +++++++
-
- We've received a few responses from people working on graduate theses
- or dissertations related to computer culture or computer crime. We'll
- put out the information, along with a list of the few that have been
- completed so far, but it appears that, to date, there are very, very
- few. If you or somebody you know is working on a related project, let
- us know in the next few weeks so we can include it in the
- bibliography.
