Fantastic read for more reasons than that alone...

Good ol America, throwing it's weight around as usual.
Earth has a lot of things other folks might want... like the whole planet. And maybe these folks would like a few changes made, like more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and room for their way of life. - William S. Burroughs

That's a very good book indeed. Most of the details are very accurate, too, except some facts surrounding the actual raid.

This is also the very case where they used the method of memory extraction to defeat his full disk cryptography. Interesting stuff. It's quite sad story really, considering how brilliant the guy (Max Butler aka Max Vision) is. It's unfortunately he didn't find any productive way to utilize his skills.

Sunde is a very nice chap, I met him couple of years ago.

But what I fail to understand is how this book would be related to Sunde or the pirate bay in any way? Transition? Kingpin is about a hacker who clearly used his skills for evil and to steal. While there are claims that TPB has obtained some ad money, these guys certainly didn't make fortune out of it.

Thats not suprising, after all he used to be known in the Amiga Scene as Nike/TRSI.

I'd say the Amiga evolved...but not quite the way people envisioned it from the start:)
