"The group, which calls itself the Source Code Club, is offering
what seems to be the stolen source code for an older version of Enterasys
Networks' Dragon intrusion detection system and Napster's client and
server software. The price: $16,000 and $10,000,
respectively."

 From that group's website:

Interesting.  I suspect that "business model" has a lot to
do with how to do this without being arrested :-).

Cheers,
