Editing Steve Jackson Games (section)

===Raid===
On March 1 1990, SJG's offices in Austin, Texas were raided by the United states secret service. The manuscript for GURPS Cyberpunk was confiscated although this was merely coincidence and not the actual purpose of the raid at all. The raid is often thought to have been related to Operation Sundevil, a nationwide investigation of computer crime, however Sundevil was based in Arizona and the Steve Jackson Raid was coordinated out of Chicago. More than three years later, a federal court awarded damages of $50,000 and attorneys' fees of $250,000 (amounts in USD) to SJ Games, ruling that the raid had been careless, illegal, and completely unjustified. Cyberpunk popularizer Bruce Sterling discussed the affair in his book ''The Hacker Crackdown: Law and Disorder on the Electronic Frontier''. The case also helped motivate the formation of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.
