On March 1 1990, SJG's offices in [[Wikipedia:Austin, Texas|Austin, Texas]] were raided by the [[Wikipedia:United states secret service|U.S. Secret Service]]. The manuscript for [[Wikipedia:GURPS Cyberpunk|GURPS Cyberpunk]] was confiscated although this was merely coincidence and not the actual purpose of the raid at all. The raid was related to [[Wikipedia:Operation Sundevil|Operation Sundevil]], a nationwide investigation of computer crime. More than three years later, a federal court awarded damages of $50,000 and attorneys' fees of $250,000 (amounts in [[Wikipedia:USD|USD]]) to SJ Games, ruling that the raid had been careless, illegal, and completely unjustified. [[Wikipedia:Cyberpunk|Cyberpunk]] popularizer [[Wikipedia:Bruce Sterling|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 [[Wikipedia:Electronic Frontier Foundation|Electronic Frontier Foundation]]. See ''[[Wikipedia:GURPS Cyberpunk|GURPS Cyberpunk]]'' for more information on the raid and the ensuing case. | On March 1 1990, SJG's offices in [[Wikipedia:Austin, Texas|Austin, Texas]] were raided by the [[Wikipedia:United states secret service|U.S. Secret Service]].
