   Read what Joe Kohn originally posted. The admins of wco.com
*wanted* such logs from the site where the pirated stuff was uploaded
to, and after consideration (i.e. checking their own logs), *they*
decided to kill the account. Unless they have a user policy saying "we
can kill your account if you sneeze wrong" they'll need some good
concrete reason for nuking his account *now*, versus all the previous
times he's been a jerk, uploaded copyrighted software, etc.

   I think their logs will show that Turley did log in from home as he
claimed. Unfortunately, being so high on drugs you feel like you're
200 miles away, and witnesses of several space aliens doesn't quite
count.
