IP: The Times hack Time to get VERYserious about this type of thing

[Dave Farber <farber@cis.upenn.edu>]

Those people included a death threat against John Markoff. That passes the limits of what should be allowed with at best a hand slap by the law. I strongly encourage all parties to track those criminals down and bring the full weight of the law on them. Death Threats is not a constructionally protected form of speech and is a felony -- and a serious one.
