a group consisting of six czech artists called ztohoven, face possible prison time after being accused of scare mongering and propagating false information. in june of 2007, the group hacked into a czech republic television tower and replaced images of a live weather broadcast with a nuclear explosion going off in the czech countryside.

The ztohoven group released a statement on their myspace page . . . “we are neither a terrorist organization nor a political group, our aim is not to intimidate the society or manipulate it, which is something we witness on daily basis both in the real world and in the world created by the media…we hope our action will become an appeal for the future and remind the media of their duty to bring out the truth.”
