After being shutdown by eBay, Yahoo and Amazon auctions, Kevin Mitnick's
genuine prison ID card and other personal items are back on the auction
block.

This time at DutchBid.com ( http://www.dutchbid.com )

On Monday, eBay had pulled the auction of Kevin Mitnick's Federal Bureau of
Prisons inmate ID card, ending a flow of authentic Mitnick merchandise that
was placed up for auction by Mitnick's father. Kevin Mitnick is barred from
using computers and accessing the web under the terms of his supervised
prison release.

Kevin Mitnick, who has been called a "computer terrorist" by the Department
of Justice, is perhaps the most high-profile computer criminal to date.

The official Kevin Mitnick web site claims that, "Kevin pursued his hacking
as a means of satisfying his intellectual curiosity and applying Yankee
ingenuity. These attributes are more frequently promoted rather than
punished by society."

Founder and president of DutchBid.com, Eric Rosenberg, feels that that
Mitnick memorabilia should be available to the public. He stated, "Whether
you believe that Kevin is a criminal or a hero is irrelevant. The fact that
the 'big three' auction sites would remove Mitnick memorabelia, but allow
the auctioning of Natzi material is absurd. Kevin Mitnick's personal items
are certainly welcome at DutchBid.com."
