[Wolves] I'm back!

Fizz,

You're putting words and opinions in my mouth which aren't mine.  I
agree with you that there are times when the law needs to be challenged
non-compliance.  But this is theft, probably of calls from some other
bill payer's account - that or from BT in which case we all pay
indirectly for the actions of people who do this.  Hence no more morally
justifiable than a pickpocket.  Nor do I agree with you that hacking
into a computer is somehow not that serious.  If I forget to lock my
front door it still doesn't give you the right to wander in and look at
whatever you want inside my house.  There is no moral ambiguity there.

Chris

You seem to be giving the view of "that's the law,
therefore it's right" whereas i would disagree with
that.  I would support anyone who broke the RIP act,
because i think it's a wrong law.  I would not be
saying, "this is the law, therefore breaking it makes
you a bad person".  The law can be an indication of
the 'right path' however i don't think it is 100%
correct all the time. =20

I would say that the dude is lame, he was trying to
get free phone calls, and he got caught.  He deserves
to be laughed at.  Does he deserve us to give him a
moral patronising talk about how what he did was wrong
because it's illegal? Do you really think he cares
that he stole 0.00001p worth of electricity from a
multi billion pound corporation? I would imagine he
could care less.

I think the situation would be the same if he hacked a
redhat 6.2 box and got caught.  Yes, he would be a
lame script kiddie that needs laughing at, no, he
wouldn't need talking to in a moral tone about the
righteousness of private property.
