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: Jim Thomas Co-editor, Computer underground Digest Sociology / Northern Illinois University / DeKalb, IL 60115 email: tk0jut1@mvs.cso.niu.edu / jthomas@well.sf.ca.us Voice: (815) 756-3839 +++++++++ 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.
