Comment The real meaning of slashdot effect (Score -1) 313
In typical fashion, the majority of the slashdot community has managed to hipocritically come to the rescue of another hacker / cracker / whatever these criminals are being called these days.
Whoever said it before me was right: If it aint pro-linux / ms bashing, and it aint pro-hacker / down with the man, it aint gonna be liked on slashdot.
No matter what GPL /DMCA /hippie /hacker /geek sugar coating you put on this, it's still really simple:
THIS GUY IS A CRIMINAL AND DESERVES TO GO TO JAIL.
He hacked into a website, stole some code he wanted to use, and would have sold the code for profit, if he hadn't been so stupid to get himself caught. Geez, he even helped himself get caught. He tried to play it off like it was an accident, and told on himself to create an alibi.
He's just another criminal. No different than the scumbag who stole your car, or the scumbag who broke into your house.
The Internet is not some magical place where the real world rules don't apply. People have invested countless amounts of money and time into it, and their property deserves the same recognition as anything in the physical world.
I'll say it again for those not listening the first time:
