Some people, general anti-internet people, decided that vorlon
was a "security risk", in the sense that it could run things that could
be really bad.

They proceeded to shut it down without letting FL get to the stuff
for several days. In other words, they confiscated his machine.

FL thinks it was illegal. Probably was. I think a lawsuit might
help with a precedent...
