So ...a single man cracking the DVD encryption is way to dangerous to be in our society. He should be locked up for life...or better yet death! Hah!...what are you? crazy? Here...let me refresh your mind with some names who did far more damage than the world's most malacious hacker/cracker/phreaker...
[list=1][*]Osama BinLaden[*]Una-Bomber[*]Jack the Ripper[*]Charles Manson[*]Columbine Kids[/list=1]


So you see... hackers just want to gain knowledge...wheather it be through malacious ways or not. Anything that comes in their way of reaching "The Holy Grail of Knowledge" will be sacrificed...(even if by accident...). I mean, give me a break. Hackers [malacious] spread fear and chaos in an 'unreal' world. Unless they penetrate security for the CIA, FBI, Stock Market, or some other governmental agency (which would be a highly foolish thing to do), there is no 'grave' danger.
Then again you might be facing some hacker pediphile with no social life... then thats when you chain proxies, switch your online identity, change your e-mail address, and install "Brinks Home Security" ...(which for some reason I have installed...just incase fella's...just inacase...)...
