There's stealing, and then there's stealing. I don't think what this kid did was actual "stealing". Had I been at Valve in a position to hire, I would have definitely considered hiring the kid (after evaluating how contrite he was, and how good he was, and on the condition that he keep his mouth shut, for fear of spawning copycats). But maybe that's because I've done such rebellious things in the past myself, and have a soft spot for true "hackers".
