Quote: The thing I find strange is how someone so into capitalism ended up the founder of a group internationally know for taking someone's commercial product, removing the protection and distributing it freely. The two things really don't add up to me.
I find that people who say that they're "into capitalism" are mostly just "into money". So that at least is compatible with selling infringing software. ;-)
And to address an earlier post, he's not exactly some poor innocent victim whose misdeeds are being over-exaggerated. He's representative of the public, and as such his past (character-defining) actions will be held to a high standard. It might be different had he come clean about his past and had made reparations. And the fact that this is coming from the U.S. Republicans (who often preach public morality whilst living their private lives in amorality). |

Makes me embarrased (almost) to be an American. There are worse things in life than being the founder of a legendary c64 cracking group. Thought it was funny how they take things we did as teenagers and blow it out of proportion.
Hope it blows over for Tony.
