Hacker ethics

The issue whether computer hackers are technological innovators who push the boundaries of development or just reckless criminals who endanger companies and individuals is very controversial. Computer hacking is prohibited by law. But this fact does not lead to the conclusion that computer hackers are criminals. A good starting point while elaborating this issue would be to try to answer the following question: what motivates computer hackers and what are the consequences of their actions? …

…we don't forget the interaction of actions and consequences and handle with responsibility. As sad above computer hacking is prohibited by law. In one way many introduced legislations on computer hacking have reduced the threat of damages caused by irresponsible persons, although I personally don't believe that this measures will be able to stop it. Instead I believe it would be more productive not to marginalize the "power" of those talented individuals named computer hackers.
