Lulzsec’s Topiary is out on bail

THE SHETLAND TEEN thought to be 'Topiary' who was arrested for his alleged involvement in the Antisec protests has been released on bail.

The accused 'Topiary', whose name is Jake Davis, was charged on Sunday and bailed by the courts yesterday. He was charged with five offences: Unauthorised access to a computer system, Encouraging or assisting offences, Conspiracy with others to carry out a Distributed Denial of Service Attack on the website of the Serious and Organised Crime Agency, Conspiracy to commit offences of Section 3 Computer Misuse Act 1990, and Conspiracy with others to commit offences of Section 3 Computer Misuse Act 1990 contrary to Section 1 of the Criminal Law Act 1977.

According to a report at the Guardian, his bail conditions are that Davis must wear an electronic tag, not access the internet, and not leave his house between 10pm and 7am.

Davis, who appeared outside court wearing sunglasses and holding a copy of "Free Radicals: The Secret Anarchy of Science" by Micheal Brooks and who allegedly authored the Rupert Murdoch is dead story that appeared on the hacked web site of the Sun newspaper, has already gained support on the internet in general and especially on Twitter.

"After a life full of efforts and diligence, courage and patience, incitement and cyber victory, generosity and charity, expatriation and travels, advice and good planning, wisdom and sophistication, the life of the Garden Hedge came to an end during this specific era. His blood, words, attitudes, and his ending are to remain a longcat running within the junctions of Anonymous generation after generation," reads a message posted to Pastebin and described as being to and about the teenage hacker.

"His message was this poetic verse: 'You cannot arrest an idea.' Topiary - may you fly always over the horizon." µ
