I saw "Hackers" yesterday. It's not bad and its political sensibility is very cyberpunk. The ad campaign even uses the tag line, "Their only crime is curiosity."
I know companies who have spent millions cleaning up after a hacker breakin. I've been up at two in the morning trying to stop a person with known mental problems breaking into a site with some very dangerous computer controlled machinery. I've dealt with people trying to get rich quick by defrauding others. I've met some real evil bastards who simply want to ruin as many other peoples lives as they possibly can, including people that thought they were their friends. To me teenagers who break into computer systems are not funny at all, its like joyriding, its funny until someone gets hurt. I know people who have got hurt real bad. I like having privacy, part of the cost of that privacy is respecting the privacy of others. Phill
