He seems a little immature and kind of obnoxious, even if his goals appear to be laudable. Maybe that's what it takes to get the attention the CFAA needs in order to be reformed.

I just don't see how a skilled computer hacker (in the original sense of the term) in jail for computer-related crimes, who goes on to get access to Twitter from prison, will put a positive light on CFAA reform efforts for the average American.

I make people afraid for their lives", stealing people's social security numbers, and so forth. If you think his goals are laudable, please read a bit more about his goals. ¹ http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/03/magazine/03trolls-t.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all http://www.nytimes.com/2008/08/03/magazine/03trolls-t.html?_... ² http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2010/06/meet-one-of-the-hackers-who-exposed-the-ipad-security-leak/57969/ http://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2010/06/meet-o...
