The helpful hacker demonstrates his techniques on camera for the NBC Nightly News, but lawyers kill the story when he cracks the broadcast network's own systems.

I think the corporate big wigs need to get off of their high horses and accept defeat for once. They spend time being embarresed about their being exploited because they have "gotten this far". Not everyone is a computer expert, and no ONE computer expert knows everything, the next guy is going to most likely find another vulnerability, the hackers find them before we do, and maybe the next guy isn't going to be as nice. I think that maybe the next time a secret service agent shoots someone for trying to kill a president or something, we should go ahead and put him on trial for murder right?
