The Boy Who Stole Half-Life 2
Am I the only one who thinks what he did was not only criminal but morally wrong, and that he deserved to go to prison for a long time?<p>I realize that everybody likes to call themselves a "hacker" because they can program a computer, but this is an actual black-hat hacker.  There are bad guys in the world and he's one of them.  He wrote malware.  He stole source code and gave it to the world.  And this wasn't some evil corporation he was trying to bring to justice for its crimes.  This was Valve.  All they do is make cool games for the world.  It's <i>incredibly</i> difficult work and they do a fantastic job.  What kind of asshole do you have to be to shit all over them like this kid did?
