First off whoever wrote this article needs to get their facts straight. Nmap is not a "hacking tool" its a tool that scans for open ports. Secondly, anyone who just freely forks over logs without a proper supoena is a disgrace to everything the internet community should stand fo, so I applaud Fyodor for not doing so. There is a difference between "cooperation" and being the little girl in school who tells the teacher who took the cookies from the jar. Those people are as low as the people who were doing the hacking in my opinion. A good example is the current RIAA/MPAA litigation. Some isp's just forked over the names of the users involved. Others are questioning the validity of the supeonas. The government is out of control because of their new "terrorism" authority. They run around like they did in the old days when they called everyone in the country a communist :)
