I always thought that this was a bullshit reason for doing stuff like that. Even if they were doing it for the good of mankind and the entire human race, it's steal illegal. Kind of like euthanasia.

I got a '404 error' but most people who use that as an excuse is exactly that-an excuse to do illegal things Don't get me wrong, though I'm all about bringing pc security issues to people's attention.............

“Oh, they must!” [Guy]
“No, not anything. They name a lot of cars or clothes or swimming pools mostly and say how swell! But they all say the same things and nobody says anything different from anyone else. And most of the time in the cafes they have the joke-boxes on and the same jokes most of the time, or the musical wall lit and all the colored patterns running up and down, but it’s only color and all abstract. And at the museums, have you ever been? All abstract. That\'s all there is now...\"

I got the '404' too, but I can see the point. . .you'd think we'd have it pegged down already w/ all the 'resources' we have at our disposal. . .not a good excuse to break the law, but a good point. . .
