I'm really bothered by classifying hackers of DVD and other entertainment
products as white hats. What they are doing is not true civil disobedience
in the same vein as sitting in the front of the bus because you are supposed
to sit in the back. A hacker of a DVD movie is not Mrs. Parks. They are
stealing pure and simple. Now, if those same hackers were out taking down
tobacco company sites, sites spouting hatred, and such then they might be
able to justify their actions.
