Oh yes. I remember back in the day thinking I was a real rebel because my mate had given me a disk with the Jolly Roger Cookbook in text files on it and that it was somehow illegal to possess said data.
It was only later, i.e. once I'd passed GCSE Chemistry, that I realised that half the stuff in it was wrong and/or likely to poison you if you cocked it up and cocking it up was all too easy, and that the rest of the stuff was pathetic (i.e. going into a computer store and typing 10 PRINT "FUCK YOU"; 20 GOTO 10 or treading chewing gum into the carpet at school.)
Thankfully I grew up. Leah... hasn't, and frankly unless something seriously bad happens to her probably never will.
