Facter writes "There is a great article on CNET about the ethical debate between white/gray/black-hat hackers - interesting to note is that it reports the "fading away" of the "gray" definition between white and black, due to the DMCA hindering anything in between.."

Oh come on, the meaning of the term has changed, accept it. Language does this sometimes, people change the meaning of words, and it becomes accepted by the majority, jsut like words such as "gay" and "queer" (no, sorry im not picking on homosexuals, but those two words jsut spring to mind).

I program, and i call myself a coder, not a hacker. I alter stuff and call myself a modder, not a hacker. I break into systems, i call myself a hacker.
