"MIT sold out Drink or Die, too"

What did they do?




MIT undergrads and at least one sysadmin were allegedly involved in the software releasing group DoD (who did some stuff related to DeCSS, as well as commercial scene piracy).

Course 14 (economics) machines got raided during Operation Buccaneer.

It wasn't handled particularly badly, but the 1994 La Macchia case was worse (which I followed more closely)
