®Hacker/Warez Trader EVIL?¯
It has come to my attention that lately the media has been blowing
a few things out of proportion. A couple of these things is how the media
looks apon hackers and warez traders. Let me shead a little light on
this subjuct, and show you that hackers and warez traders are NOT evil.
HACKER:
As the media looks at it hackers are malitious beings. The media
thinks that all hackers want to control everything in the electronic
world. The media also thinks that they always write in high ASCII.
The media also believes that hackers are a threat to the entire
electronic community.
The truth is is that not all hackers want to control everything.
Hackers have some sort of ethics. You can't tell who is a hacker and
who is not. It is not as simple as looking at a computer nerd and saying
that he is a hacker. Someone could know all about his own computer and
know not a thing about hacking. Most people that I have come in contact
with believe that the hacker has a code to adhear to. Hacking is also the
art of exploring the computer systems. In one of my many files that I have
obtained in my more recent months there is the code of the hacker along
with many other things. The code of the hacker is:
That you learn, but do not damage,
you exploit but do not steal, etc.
The purpose of hacking is exploration, not personal gain.
If you still believe that hackers are evil beings then I think you
should start listening to the people and not the media.
Warez Trader:
Microsoft corporation of america just lost millioons this month alone
due to software piracy. Something like this I am shure that you all have
heard of before. The media sees warez traders as common lowlife thieves.
They think that warez traders just use the programs for an unlimited ammount
of time.
The truth is warez traders do not use warez for an unlimited ammount
of time. Warez traders do good to the BBSing community. They allow the whole
of the BBSing community to try the regestered version of a software before
people go ahead and buy it. Warez boards are kinda like the Blockbuster
Vidio of the electronic world. I have seen with many warez a file that
states that these files are for evaluation pourpouses only. Wheather the
reader of that file complies is up to them, and if they do not comply
then they are breaking the law not the warez traders. Warez boards
follow the FCC guidelines pretaing to the software that is on thier board.
If the media has a problem with someone who is following the law then
that is further evedence that they are complete morons.
Now that you have heard my views think it through for youreself.
Are hackers and warez traders bad? In my opion they are not.
