Thank you for your kind message. I’m going to send you an e-mail.
Belgium: I’ve had some contacts there but not so many. In particular I’ve been a member of Fusion for a short time. Apart from those I’ve already mentioned: Duncan / The Band (Jean-Claude). He was group leader and founder. I’ve met him 2-3 times at parties or at others’ places (can’t figure out exactly, definitely did too many things and met too many people at that time). RAM (ex-The Band) and The Red Baron were the coders of the trainer menu used by Blackbird, but I didn’t know them personally.
Joey Beltram: Funny. I’ve met the real one (the DJ from Brooklyn) twice at rave parties in France, one which I’ve attended with Maximilian, and the other one with Spirit (Quartex). I’ve even made street art with NY DJ Frankie Bones and his brother Adam-X at the second one, held in an abandoned factory in Asnières near Paris.
Organizing a meeting :-)…: although France was one of the worst countries in the world for hackers/crackers (Foxy posted a lot about this, I could bring in more details – I got busted only one week after him!), here we wouldn’t need the equivalent of a Royal Pardon, except for the late sceners who continued after 1995. Thanks to having stopped everything in 1993, I don’t risk anything anymore for what I did in the past. The statutes of limitation were only five years for the category involved, before the new criminal code (Code Pénal) was voted in 1995. Then they became thirty years, which is a lot. But in France we have the Principle of Non-retroactivity of criminal law, which in particular applies to the statutes of limitation if they are prolonged by the new Law. If they had been reduced, the new delay would apply. That’s something which has been legally and formally established by the French Court of Cassation (equivalent of a constitutional court) in two steps at the beginning and middle of the 80’s.
Deature: I didn’t know him. Not as if I were like these Skid Row leaders who didn’t know their members… well… maybe… or maybe I was just as bad as Skid Row! After all I’ve been twice a member of that group. But I have an excuse for Deature, I was probably no more in charge of the whole activities at Delight when he became a member. Once I had decided to put a final period to my borderline activities, I just kept responsibility for the demo activities of the group.
Anyway I will add him in our all-times memberlist which I’m currently editing on our new unexotica wiki page.
Btw, I still live in Paris. Would be pleased to meet you one of the next times you’re here for business.
