Regarding capitalism and the businesses built upon it: Hasn't it always been really about being cut-throat, stepping on other's faces to come out ahead? Instead of focusing on the press's dark definition of the "evil hacker", within that spirit came about all of the creative innovations - the same innovations that relentlessly pushes the envelope for progress. I am reminded of the mantra: "If he can do it and noone else can, he's entitled to it." Hacking hasn't finally met the world of business. The competitive nature of business has always been about hacking (i.e. devising ways to do more with less, be smart, outsmart the competition, constantly be on the lookout to run a tighter ship).
