This is such a great site. Any of Evan Doorbell's "How I Became a Phone Phreak" or "Sounds of Long Distance" are especially great.

Rachael Morrison and her team poured their heart into this and it shows... it is just so good. (Disclaimer: I was interviewed for the movie and narrate parts of it.) See it if you can.

Rachael Morrison, the director, was kind enough to invite me to the premier at Sundance, since she interviewed me for the film. She and her crew did an amazing job. She found so much archival material and she and her team stitched it together to tell a moving and historically accurate story. People were in tears after the premier. Just so good.

Loew's 1972 article in Ramparts magazine, "Regulating the Telephone Company In Your Home" (http://explodingthephone.com/docs/dbx0431.pdf) taught phone hacking to thousands and resulted in the telephone company suppressing publication of a major American magazine (http://explodingthephone.com/docs/dbx0271.pdf). (I had the pleasure of interviewing Rudolph for my book on phone phreaks, "Exploding The Phone", at http://explodingthephone.com)
