Machado References

As far as we know, there are no complete presentations of the Machado case either in print or on the Internet. The references we provide below are all partial views of the case. The case presentation we have done is based on original news sources, court documents and police records, interviews with individuals involved in the case, and other references from the Internet.

The best overview from original sources can be obtained by spending the money to buy the series of articles in the Orange County register. A search in their archives reveals (as of June, 2001) 23 articles on this case in the paper.

We also provide some references to books and articles that are useful background reading about flaming, perceptions of privacy, and the Machado case.

Finally, we provide a large list of links that will help you see the larger picture in this case.
