On Feb. 1, 2002, a juvenile computer hacker known as "Pimpshiz" was sentenced in Contra Costa County, Calif. after pleading guilty to replacing a NASA web page at the Goddard Space Flight Center, Greenbelt, Md., with his own web page protesting a lawsuit against the Napster music sharing web site. His sentence included forfeiture of his computer, restricted computer use to e-mail only for two years and a prohibition that he may not use the "Pimpshiz" nickname during his two-years probation. 2
