Don't buy into the notion that if it's not "legal" it's not hacking. One of the things that makes hacking possible is that the actual rules are different than the stated rules.

If they had nothing to do with it, they would not have been pressured by the government. They picked a side. DDoSing them is not immoral. (though if it's a zombie net, that is immoral.)

Can you support copyright without resorting to the misapplied notion of having the right to control and profit from your labors? There are long established rights, 'natural' rights if you want, that pertain to things like being able to do

If you think legalized rape is outside of what humans are capable of, you're not up on current events. If you mean that an individual human couldn't view sex as something outside themselves, then maybe.

Then why doesn't New York ever need to bomb Pensylvania? If the border of these two areas can be open, then so could other borders. Likewise, there are places where you don't have to lock your doors.

If the price came down a lot, you could do this with a home base station. Still illegal, but I think unlikely to be noticed. I am not a cellular engineer. Likewise, anything out in the middle of nowhere like burning man could probably do th

Just because work you do benefits another does not entitle you to that value. Yes pirates cannot pirate what does not exist. That just means the market needs to find a way to pay content creation, instead of content copying.

Murderers can kill bad guys too. Calling someone a murder means you assert that they have murdered. Don't make a leap of logic and then try to tell other people what they 'risk implicitly' doing. The fact that you took this nonsense as far
