Secret Service 0, Steve Jackson Games 1
Mar. 1st, 2010 05:19 pm20 years ago today, the Secret Service conducted their infamous raid on SJG headquarters, seizing, amongst other things, the text of GURPS Cyberpunk, which while not the target of the raid, was considered by the MORON agents a "handbook for computer crime". After a long drawn out process, SJG sued and won their case against the SS. This incident was also a major impetus behind the foundation of the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF).
So go out and celebrate (not the raid itself, but the eventual victory) by playing some Hacker or other SJ games, or donate to the EFF. It's stick it to the (cyber)man day!
