> French hacker sued by an antiterrorist judge
> Larsen,  who's  been  arrested by the DST (french counter-intelligence
> agency), is accused of having disclosed national defence secrets by an
> antiterrorist  judge. The trouble is that the informations he revealed
> on  the  Net are freely available in bookshops... According to the new
> French  penal  code, he may be condemned to five years of imprisonment
> plus a fine of 500.000 FF.
