So the hacker's that steal games are steal people's information are just curious people. Seeing how something works is fine,but when hacker's get into stealing things,then yes they have no life.


OK but... what does that have to do with the topic? Did this particular hacker steal anything?

 

Are you a hacker? Sorry if I offended you. Don't most hacker's steal things. I'm being serious,I'm really not tech savy enough to get into a whole debate. Again,sorry if I offended you.

In some sense, yeah. No, you didn't offend me, I was just explaining that this particular hacker didn't do anything wrong.

Hackers hack stuff... sometimes the knowledge they gain is used by others (hackers or not) to steal things, that doesn't mean hacking is to blame though. The two examples of companies that were started by hackers are Microsoft and Apple. Steve Jobs was quite active in the phone hacking scene (phreaking).

 

Thanks for answering my question. The last sentence in your post was interesting. I did'nt know that.
