Codepunk 053: Secret Service Raid on Steve Jackson Games

In the latest episode, we discuss a little bit of counterculture and cyberpunk history, detailing the Secret Service raid on Steve Jackson Games (SJG) because of the imminent publication of the Cyberpunk GURPS role-playing game guidebook--A book that the Secret Service proclaimed was a "handbook for computer crime" because of the involvement of known hacker Loyd Blankenship.
