Microsoft "reseller" gets two years in jail for a US$20 sale

Back in 2004, there was some alarm in the Windows community over an Internet leak of the source code to Windows 2000 and NT. The hype died down once it was realized that the code was incomplete and did not include anything from XP. The identity of the leaker was never ascertained. The code was widely distributed over the Internet, and many curious geeks took a look just to say that they had done so. No one was charged with a crime in the case—except for one man, William P. Genovese, Jr.
