It will probably cost me
reputation, but I'd just like to add that this film came out only months before
Abbie Hoffman wrote the first
YiPL paper, encouraging people to rip off
AT&T, on the grounds that a special
tax on long distance
phone calls went directly to the
Department of Defense.
YiPL begat
TAP, which begat the
Blue Box, which begat
Apple Computer, and the art and craft of
hacking as we know it today.
I wish I were enough of a conspiracy theorist to suspect more than a coincidence.
