In case you haven't seen this in any of the seven other newsgroups
that have already gotten abuzz about this, I've been convicted of
three felonies in a landmark case during a contracting job with Intel.

I face stiff penalties ($100+K?) and jail time for doing what I
thought was my job.  From many private conversations, it seems that
many of you would have done what I did.  This is scary.

Get the details about the case, as well as some information about how
to assist me with my ongoing (and mounting) legal fees by sending an
email message to fund@stonehenge.com.  The content of the mail message
is ignored.

print "Just another Perl hacker," # but not what the media calls "hacker!" :-)
# legal fund: $3411.03 collected, $72879.50 spent; email fund@stonehenge.com for details
