Thanks for the kind words, in2. This is far too important to delay waiting on my getting to the office. I've found a site that should help those that have been victimized:
http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/cybercrime/reporting.htm
I suspect each of the following will apply, so scroll down and look for: Computer intrusion (i.e. hacking); Password trafficking; and, Copyright (software, movie, sound recording) piracy. Also, paragraph preceeding these listings provides links to the National Association of Attorneys General (NAAG) and the NAAG's Computer Crime Point-of-Contact List CCPC. I would strongly recommend that any webmaster/webmistress, or anyone else for that matter, having been affected by this person use the link provided and file the necessary complaints to expedite prosecution.
If anyone knows someone who has been victimized, send them the above link or a link to this thread.
Thanks,
Ron

I believe Ron works for the attorney generals office in one of the states and although he is not a lawyer, he knows how to get information and is very helpful.
I thought I'd pass this on to you if you are thinking of taking this matter further. Although I don't know whether it was or wasn't Thane, the problem is if everyone dismisses it all of the time, the the person keeps getting away with it and nothing is ever done.
You can also follow any other information DAz comes up with here -
