Shawn Fanning, the creator of Napster, testifies at a Senate Judiciary Committee convened by Senator Orin Hatch. At the hearing, Fanning offers testimony on the creation and growing popularity of Napster, emphasizing its legal uses. “People tell us that they use Napster to sample new music before deciding what to buy, find new artists, and house music in their computers that they already own on CD, cassette, vinyl and sometimes 8-track. We hear regularly from mothers who say they use Napster to screen the music their children are listening to and parents who say that Napster is a share activity that helps them communicate with their teenagers.” Just weeks later, Napster will announce plans to partner with BMG records to develop a subscription-based service.

Van T. Dinh, age 19, of Phoenixville, Pennsylvania is arrested on the campus of Drexel University on charges of hacking and identity theft committed last July in an elaborate scheme to dump worthless options for Cisco Systems stock. It is the first time computer hacking and identity theft have both played a part in a fraud prosecution brought by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The teenager allegedly lured victims in an online stock-discussion group to download a key-logging program that he claimed was a stock-charting tool. After using the program to monitor his victims’ machines, Dinh allegedly obtained the log-in and password information for a TD Waterhouse Investor Services online brokerage account owned by a Westborough, Massachusetts, man. With the victim’s account information in hand, Dinh used his own online brokerage account to create orders to sell worthless option, then hacked into the victim’s online account and created corresponding buy orders for the options, to the tune of approximately US$46,986. SEC official don’t comment on the teen obtained the money to buy the put options he erroneously sold, but they do note that the SEC investigation is ongoing.
