Now, please try to remember that I agreed that there is a lot of that in the 
wares scene. But the ones who really know what they're doing (individuals you 
obviously have never had contact with) are the ones with the resources to get 
the software on or near its release date, edit/crack the code to break any 
copyright protection, etc. Its probably quite a bit of work and you could 
probably make a living from it.

It is inconceivable that you've ever had experience with "phreaking" that 
wasn't a) illegal or b) costing a company money. As Super-Moral-Phreak, did 
you
ever call an 800# to a private company? Even just to "explore" the system, as 
you say, you didn't pay for it. Ever use a VMB? Really, anytime you would 
poke 
around a system and *ever* accessed an account that wasn't yours, or played 
with functions that weren't for the general public, you violated your own 
stupid moral code. That's kind of odd ... I suppose your views on piracy are 
flexible in some way?
