Hacking isn't about crime. It's about exploration. There are lots of people showing "the youths" how interesting it is to break a lock or go around it. Basically, any time you can make a system do something fun, helpful, or interesting that it wasn't intended to do, that's hacking. You can be 100% law abiding with no fear of punishment and still get the full experience.
