INTRO:
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hell O's and let me introduce myselves. In 214 I am known as Gangsta or
|
|
Vip. I run a board called 'Violent in Public` that is mostly about Freedom of
|
|
Speech and Information. Recently, I have started a Network in this area by
|
|
the Name of 'FreeNet`. Yes, I am another one of those Freedom of Speech
|
|
Fanatics. I know this is nothing special since there have been others before
|
|
me. Take cDc for instance, A Insane TFile writing group.
|
|
|
|
Now about TR0 we are made up mostly by a bunch of cut throat insane
|
|
killas who roam the streets at nights looking for our next victims. Our goal
|
|
is to spread our insanity through out this conservative ran country. Most of
|
|
us have been locked out of most of these lame Conservative boards that plauge
|
|
our city. Fuck yeah, too bad there are more of them than us at the moment.
|
|
|
|
|
|
THATS ALL NiCE GANGSTA BUT WHAT THE FUCK iS ALL THiS ABOUT?:
|
|
|
|
Oh yeah, Well this here TFile is a little horror story about an
|
|
organization called SPA that is investigating me as I type. SPA stands for
|
|
"Software Publishing Association" and is the biggest non-government,
|
|
anti-pirate organization around. (ha! ha! Gangsta is going down) SPA is well
|
|
known on the Internet for getting the System Administrators to illegally
|
|
search through users' dirs to find warez. Those who don't agree to help them
|
|
are threaten. There is an interesting RiSC/ETA flie about this subject that
|
|
I saw the other day.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now let me get back to this story that I am supposed to tell here.
|
|
As I mentioned earlier I run a BBS (ViP) and a Network (FreeNet). FreeNet was
|
|
starting to grow as I got new boards to join it. As the story goes I was
|
|
friends with a SysOp of another board in this Area called Psychosis. This was
|
|
a Pretty cool board that ran a Network by the name of XNet. Chatting with the
|
|
SysOp(Psych0) one day I found out that the FBI was investigating him because
|
|
his X-CoSysOp's Girlfriend had called them on him and said he had Warez.
|
|
Psychosis was pretty clean afterwards.
|
|
|
|
It was lucky for Psych0 that he was underage and his mother was planning
|
|
to move to Colorado Soon. Before he moved we decided that I should take over
|
|
his 2i4 XNet operation and we would exchange PKTs twice a weak. So now I was
|
|
Hub to two networks.
|
|
|
|
This is were my problem originated from. Not too long after Psych0 moved
|
|
I got a call one day from someone by the Handle of Toggle. This dude wanted
|
|
to join XNet but after finding out that the SysOp of XNet had moved he decided
|
|
to join FreeNet instead. This was cool with me since afterall the network was
|
|
about Freedom of Speech and thus open to anyone. After his joining of FreeNet
|
|
I decided it was time for a new FreeNet Ansi. When I was done with the Ansi
|
|
I went on to advertise my network on some of the local Boards in this area.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The Day went by and I called one of the elite boards I am on where I
|
|
had posted one of the ANSIs at. To my surprised I had a letter in my EMail
|
|
informing me that one of the boards on my list was SPA. The guy went on
|
|
asking me what I knew about the board and about the SysOp. Feeling stupid I
|
|
could only say I knew next to nothing about the SysOp or his Board.
|
|
|
|
Hmm I have SPA board on my network, what the fuck do I do? Now that I
|
|
think about it this guy has been acting kind of strange. Shit, what the fuck
|
|
have I done? At the thought of being investigated I decided to do a little
|
|
investigation of my own. This guy sure was interested in my H/P stuff but I
|
|
had nothing to worry about those since they are perfectly legal.
|
|
|
|
I decided to have my friends do the little investigating for me to find
|
|
out if this guy really was SPA or not. I wanted to know if I was being
|
|
investitgated by the suckers or not. I remeber how Psych0 was investigated
|
|
and started to think that maybe my association with him was the cause of my
|
|
investigation? Since I was the New XNet hub my name was first on the nodelist
|
|
in this area now. The SPA guy after all wanted to join that network first.
|
|
|
|
Yeah that possible but now it was time to start my own little private
|
|
investigation. I asked around and soon found out that the sysop of
|
|
"The Harvest" had asked one of my friends to start an "All Warez Board" He
|
|
also told him that he had tons of wares. Hmm, A member of SPA telling someone
|
|
to start a warez board? Sound very suspicous. Later on, I also found out
|
|
that this SysOp told other people about his "Warez Section."
|
|
|
|
This was all interesting information but what scared me the most was that
|
|
I found out he had tons of networks on his system and Guess which one showed
|
|
up first in his Message base. Yes, it was "FreeNet". Out of the hundreds of
|
|
areas mines obviously interested him the most for some reason. If that was
|
|
not enough he also had an Anti-Pirate Network.
|
|
|
|
|
|
The next thing I decided to do was to have a friend call his board and ask
|
|
him directly if he was SPA. What better way to find out something then to
|
|
have Someone login under a fake name and ask the guy directly? That is what
|
|
we did. Yes, the direct question worked like magick. The other SysOp of the
|
|
board started getting nervous when asked and quickly admited that his friend
|
|
and him were part of SPA and that their board had no warez at all. He
|
|
probably thought with his friend telling everyone they had warez they might
|
|
themselves be under investigation now.
|
|
|
|
With this knowlege I decided it was time to get rid of him. Afterall a
|
|
person who is a Member of SPA that tells people that he has warez and to start
|
|
Warez boards obviously is not to be trusted. Why would someone who originally
|
|
called my board for XNet all the suddenly be so interested in FreeNet that he
|
|
puts it infront of all his messages in his base? A person who had hinted to
|
|
piracy in the messsages a few times.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yes, I had to get rid of him but how? I don't want this to look too
|
|
obvious. The best I could think up was to setup a fake FreeNet area for
|
|
him that he would see instead of the real one and then cut off his feed. My
|
|
plan was that once he notice the drop in the messages he would call my board
|
|
and look in my FreeNet area. There he would see all the old messages up to a
|
|
certain point. Yes, that might work and if it doesn't it won't matter much
|
|
either since I decided to go clean for now.
|
|
|
|
After setting everything up for him it was time to warn the rest of the
|
|
world. First, I called a few local Elite boards to warn people of the board
|
|
called the Harvest and not to trust the SysOp. I told my tale for all to see.
|
|
Next, I would write this TFile that you see now for educational use. >;)
|
|
|
|
I don't think it is right to be investigated on the basis of who you know
|
|
or don't. I was not really a Super Warez Board to begin with since my board
|
|
is mostly message based. Sure Violent In Public might sound like a name a
|
|
major warez board might use buy we should not judge things by their names.
|
|
SPA has no right to base an investigation on such things.
|
|
|
|
Anyways there is a bit more to this story but that is basically how it
|
|
went. So TR0 is not about Anti SPA Zines or anything like that this just
|
|
happened right about the time we were going to start publishing Zines.
|
|
So expect to see more Insane shit than this in the future.
|
|
|
|
That it for nowz.. .
