Here's my opinion: * This is almost certainly not the first time these porn sites have been cracked. I would not be surprised if a duplicate of this list can be had for under thirty dollars on the appropriate IRC channel. * These are porn sites; anybody that gives a real email to a porn site deserves their spam and cracks. I'm not that stupid, and neither is anybody else on HN. * The people that /are/ that stupid need to get their act together. Anything that penalizes them for bad information security and pushes them toward better habits has a silver lining. * There are a bunch of people out there that will think, "It's a good thing that those dirty immoral porn-watchers got punished." That could give this cracking thing some positive press in an entirely new segment of the population. So, although it probably would have been better if this hadn't happened in the first place, and most people probably don't agree with this analysis, I don't think that this is the end of the world.
