Alex: So for anyone who hasn't kept current, Knight Lightning is the hacker alias of one Craig Neidorf. Neidorf allegedly entered into a fraudulent scheme with the hacker known as Prophet, who, it will be recalled, was the Atlanta LoD member who had illicitly copied the E911 Document from the BellSouth AIMSX system.

Nate: Of course the "fraudulent scheme" consisted of copying the 12-page document, editing it, and posting it in their magazine.

Alex: Yeah, and it was only a federal case because the stolen goods were passed across state lines via modem. ...there are a lot of holes in the case, which is why I'm so glad the defense team did an excellent job picking it apart.

David: Well I mean, back up; there's no legal standard for that where we are in history.

Alex: Right, there are a lot of thorny problems with tackling alleged crimes on a worldwide web with a police force organized by geographic boundaries
