Yeah, you can't call this hacking. This software is operating according to specifications, as far as we know. The hacking was from the guys who uncovered this, much appreciated. However, this was a huge step backward. The company bypassed the legal system via code, to add obligations, and secret functionality to the client. How was this found? By others who would and do circumvent the law for their own reasons. These reasons might be as noble. Just. Enlightened. Having spent some time online, I of course, am skeptical.
