    What, leave him alone? I'd like to shake his hand.

    All he did was slightly modify it and his copy only infected .014% of the machines hit by Blaster. I think it's complete BS that people are treating this kid as a scapegoat for this.

    Hey, I just wrote this book. It's called Haverhappy. I just took a copy of Moby Dick and changed the name.



    I guess this makes me the author of Moby Dick, huh?

    I don't wish the poor guy any harm ... but what in the **** was he thinking leaving clues to his identity in the code? Stuff like his screen name and such - he retty much deserved to get caught.
