OK, some URLs of /. stories on the subject. These stories
in turn link to quite a bit of coverage in other news
sources:
http://slashdot.org/articles/00/03/02/0958226.shtml
http://slashdot.org/articles/00/05/02/158204.shtml
And a few "meta" articles on how Microsoft tried to
censor the situation:

http://slashdot.org/features/00/05/11/0153247.shtml
http://slashdot.org/features/00/05/13/2038233.shtml
http://slashdot.org/features/00/05/16/1321225.shtml
http://slashdot.org/features/00/05/18/2015251.shtml
And the conclusion (which took far too much trouble,
IMHO):
