$ I heard a brief one-sentence report on the BBC World Service several
$ days ago to the effect that U.S. Federal authorities had formally
$ charged R. T. Morris, Jr., with crimes in connection with the Internet
$ worm of November 1988.  Could someone with accurate details kindly post
$ them to the net; readers of this newsgroup were very actively involved,
$ both in fighting off the worm and (afterward) in debating the ethics of
$ the affair.  Thanks in advance...

There was a brief blurb on CNN over the weekend. I didn't catch the 
exact charge, but it is a felony he is being charged with.
