The MIT News Office issued this comment Thursday night on the 
indictment of David Lamacchia, a junior at MIT:

"MIT computer specialists discovered in December that an MIT 
computer in a computer center used by students was being used to 
distribute software.  That information was turned over to the MIT 
Campus Police and the Federal Bureau of Investigation. MIT 
personnel cooperated in the subsequent FBI investigation."
