Blaming the Good Samaritan
Houston Carr, 2008-09-26

In the early 90's, I attended an academic conference in Hawaii. At one presentation, a colleague from the University of California at Berkeley whom I'll refer to as "the supervisor," told a story of young hackers, who he referred to as the Urchins.

P.S. Why do you say that you agree "with the law's stance," as if your ideological crucifixion of "ethical hackers" is somehow reinforced by the level with which you are a "law-abiding" citizen. Do you know how laws are made in Canada? Did you know that they can be amended? Overturned by the court system? Ever heard of the Napoleonic code? Why don't you simply say, "I disagree that the law should be changed," instead of alienating anyone who disagrees with you by implying that they aren't as law-abiding as you are? I applaud your feeble, yet false attempt to claim the moral high ground.
