I agree with your post as a whole, but this part kind of struck me:
I watched a TLC program on Mitnick last night, never once did the reporter ask if Mitnick might be socally engineering him with a carefully chosen set of lies to make Mitnick sound like a victim rather than a crook.
What did you expect?
Interviewer: Mr. Mitnick, are you not telling me the whole story, but rather inventing facts in an attempt to mislead me into believing that you really didn't do anything wrong?
KM: Yes. [pause] Damn!

Three times as much as what? Unethical hackers? I didn't know there were a lot of positions for offensive hackers.
The RIAA and MPAA will have plenty of openings for unscrupulous people if the Berman bill gets passed:) Oddly enough, these "unethical hackers" might feel right at home.
Try to keep in mind, not all americans are morons.

All americans aren't morons. Seriously. We really don't believe that IP is so precious that someone can be sued for programming and then using that knowledge again. This is bullshit, no matter if you're red blue purple green (or a california court)
Now enough american bashing. Fuck. I'm in favor of global thinking, but not neccessarily the buisness practices that come with it. Try to remember we're all human. I agree with a lot of people in iran, scotland, hell even canada (just a joke people!) and its more global thinking that is going to get us farther.
(enter sarcasm)
actually now that i think about it, i'd much rather be in a place where no one repsects anyones culture. "fucking americans and your intelectual property laws, you've never done anything right" sounds about right.
(/sarcasm)
seriously people..... I thought you were people that are more enlightened and less worried about imaginary boundries......
One thing that americans sure are good at is eating. dont forget we're the most obese country in the world, and damn proud too. Also, we have hip-hop, and you betta reckognize how much of a global influence hip-hop music has had.

"A California court just rejected that idea in California."
I suppose when California Court starts rejecting ideas in other states I'll pay attention.
