Ok, Wolf, help me clarify what you mean here:

First you claimed, "They *were* breaking the law to make their point."

Then in this last post you said, "However, I didn't wanted to validate their nonetheless illegal hacking by saying the said activities were *purposeful*.....The old-time hackers broke into networks because they could, but more importantly, in order to *prove* that they could, and get away with it."

Possibly it's just me, but I find these statements to be contradictory. I think the old-time hackers did have a *purpose* and even though they went about it in a way that I don't agree with, doesn't mean they didn't have a purpose. I don't believe those guys had any real need to *prove* that they could do that stuff to anyone. But, in that, I could be wrong. Either way, they had a purpose.

Please let me know your thoughts...
