Re: Why hackers still here ?

It's a good point if you're simple-minded and you consider all theft to be equal in effect. Would you compare a driver who kills someone in an accident to a cold-blooded murderer; it must be the same because they both take away a life. Would you stand back from criticising crack dealers because you drink coffee or smoke nicotine? It looks like Homer Simpson's logic has gone mainstream.
I did say..."Regardless of ones Copyright beliefs".
Theft is still theft is it not?
Is one "thieving *******" really so different from the other or is the copyright thief just a bit peeved because he wants an £££/STM free line too and he dont like Mr bandwidth thief to come boast about it in his forum?

Just talking about murderers in the same breath as Bandwidth/Copyright thieves is more akin to Homers logic if you ask me but then what would i know about either eh.....

Also, all file transfer protocols have legitimate uses and the use of them doesn't automatically mean you're transferring copyrighted material.
You dont say.And there was me thinking i`d been stealing Linux for the last 3 years.
