So his brother had no part in it?

That was the hacker that released the Melissa virus, I think. The unabomber they caught because his brother turned him in. Again, I'm not trying to do anything illegal so I'm not worried about the government. I just don't like nosy businesses collecting data on me.

how do you think they caught the unabomber, they turn his computer on remotely, and looked at his computer

Oh come now. He did not use a computer. That was the whole point of his horror. He didn't even have electricity in the cabin. They caught him because his brother recognized the writing style of his manifesto after it was published by the Washington Post.
