WHO EDITS CUD?
ANSWER 3: Jim Thomas publishes CuD from Northern Illinois University. Gordon Meyer is former co-editor. Gordon Meyer’s MA thesis, “The Social Organization of the Computer Underground”, was the first systematic attempt to place the social world of “phreaks, hackers, and pirates” in a context that looked at the culture, rather than the “deviance”, of alternative uses of computer use. Gordon is currently a system engineer with a large national firm in the Chicago area. Jim Thomas, a professor of sociology/criminology at Northern Illinois University, is a prison researcher and qualitative methodologist. Gordon lured him into the “underground” world 1987, and he has since become interested in the legal and cultural issues of computer use.
