Reuters: One of the world's most famous computer hackers gets off
probation this week and plans to dive back into the Internet, his former
playground where breaking-and-entering landed him in jail for five years.
On Tuesday, 39-year-old Kevin Mitnick will log on to the Internet for the
first time in eight years, during the live TechTV show "Screen Savers."
Also scheduled to be on the program are Shawn Fanning, creator of Internet
music downloading pioneer Napster, and Steve Wozniak, a co-founder of
Apple Computer Inc.
...
While he will be able to surf the Net and send e-mails, Mitnick will still
be barred from making money off his story until 2010, a condition of his
release he plans to fight. "I believe, and some attorneys have advised me,
that it raises constitutional issues," he said. "The government can't
disadvantage anyone from exercising free speech."
