The final decision on whether McKinnon should be sent to the U.S. for trial rests with Home Secretary John Reid. McKinnon has admitted accessing U.S. government networks but denies causing any damage. He has claimed that he was looking for, and found, evidence of UFOs and secret military technology.

It will be interesting to see what the BSA's whistle-blowing reward program will accomplish. Rather than wait to be busted, businesses can take steps on their own to find out if they are software-compliant. Will it work? The governing assumption is that rewards for software piracy whistle-blowing will encourage employees to come forward to report piracy. Disgruntled employees and employees who already intend to leave their place of employment likely would have little disincentive to blow the whistle, and they probably would have positive financial incentive to do so given the potential for a reward.
