Of the charges he faces, one sticks out to me: "possession of data with intent to commit a computer offence". That sounds absurdly broad and is another of these catch-all laws that enables prosecutors to press charges against almost anyone with a computer. Have uTorrent on a hard drive? You are in possession of data with the intent to commit a computer crime. Intent is arguable, of course, but in Australia that may well be enough to get you arrested and have search warrants issued that could lead to other problems if you happened to be on the radar of law enforcement. I was under the impression that the US had the market cornered on this type of nonsense. Apparently we have competition.
