Looks like I logged on at exactly the right moment.
Hey, Alex, is this El Reg post about you?
Even if it isn't, this strikes me as a very scientology-esque method - dig out something in somebody's past that might discredit them today, or make something up if you can't find anything. However, it seems that our anti-Hanff here hasn't bothered to really read these articles - like the bits where it states that Alex was actually not involved in the bittorrent stuff aside from paying for the server-space. Not to mention the fact that bittorrent by itself
is not illegal.
