Great read! Thanks Jon. What a tale this is.
I'm already dreaming of a movie treatment...
Sort of a seedy Dirk Diegler kind of thing, with a heavy dose of
Scandinavian sex clubs and late night freak coding over a backdrop of
international copyright conspiracy. Maybe an Intellectual Property Hit
Squad out of Berne and some court clerks on the take in Berlin, all ending
up in a Utah court where disgruntled Mormons are recruited to take out the
sitting judge.
The leading blonde super-spy villain (A. Schwartzenegger) blasting geeks
away and then [zoom in] : "Now you'll do Windows, girlie man."
Who funds the whole Black Op? Well, Tim Robbins as Bill Gates, of course.
