This!. Thing is you are preaching to the wrong choir, Hackernews roots were not about the "original" hacking, but more about Silicon Valley for profit entrepreneurs creating stuff for profit to heavy quotes "make the world a better place" and "democratization X". The real hackers were in usenet, /. and similar forums. Now, I'm too old and haven't found a good place. Information wants to be free, copyright is a last century millennium construct to earn money from invention. (Before copyright, people got paid by patrons to invent their stuff). Copyright should be left at the XX century door, and whoever wants to "monetize" their intellect should use methods for the XXI century.
